Mozambique have named Geny Catamo in their starting XI for the CAN 2027 qualifying match against Ethiopia, which kicks off at 13:00 GMT.
The Sporting forward trained without any physical restrictions and is expected to play from the start in the Group match, which forms part of the third round of qualifying.
Catamo was rested last Wednesday because of fatigue accumulated during the European season. His return to the starting line-up is a boost for Mozambique as they look to strengthen their position in the group.
Mozambique began their campaign with a draw against Senegal before recording a victory over Sudan. Those results have left them second in the group on four points.
Ethiopia, by contrast, have yet to claim a point and are currently bottom of the standings. The visitors will be seeking their first win of the campaign in an attempt to revive their qualification hopes.
Mozambique XI: Ernan Siluane, Domingos Macandza, Mexer, Reinildo Mandava, Bruno Langa, Alfons Amade, Guima, Pepo, Geny Catamo, Stanley Ratifo, Witi.
Ethiopia XI: Abubeker Nura, Kaleb Beyene, Melkamu Bogale, Bereket Samuel, Alelign Muluneh, Gatuoch Panom, Wegene Gezahegn, Kenean Markine, Biniyam Fikru, Carlos Damtew, Abel Habtamu.
