Janza recall late-comers Chipolopolo coach Honour Janza has recalled four players from Power Dynamos whom he dropped this week for late coming ahead of the month-end friendly against Sudan scheduled for Lusaka.
Janza named keeper Joshua Titima, anchorman Richard Kasonde, winger Kennedy Mudenda and midfielder Julius Situmbeko in his 25-member squad to face Sudan at Heroes National Stadium on 30th August.
He has however left out Zesco United midfielder Justin Zulu who was dropped together with his Power colleagues for late coming.
Janza has also left out Nkana striker Ronald Kampamba over injury concerns.
According to FAZ spokesperson Nkweto Tembwe who released the squad to the media on Friday, Kampamba is on standby.
The squad is scheduled to regroup in Lusaka on Sunday.

Janza blinked first!
Ba Janza, how can he leave out Justin Zulu because he is best midfielder in league. And where is the captain of Zesco, the slim elegant midfielder who partnered with Sunzu against Japan?
THis FOREIGN COACH BHAVES LIKE PF governement TOO MUCH MA ..Uturns how can a player be called ,dropped and recalled i wouldnt be suppreised if he substitutes a player only to introduce him later, he is not a serious coach even the name thus why he is a foreigner how can a zambian be called JANZA HONOUR impossible ufisanji if he is zambian? Why the so called professionals are not included in the team, i mean pipo like Mbesuma, Noah chivuta, Johnstone bwalya (Jnr) etc these left out characters will be the ones to play not these cockroaches u are talking about
PLEASE CALL DAVY KALANDANYA OF KONKOLA BLADES
The problem is, most of the local player who will play in the Sudan friendly will not feature in the Mozambique game due to the availability of professionals. In fact trying players whom you will not use in the actual game is no proper way to gauge your preparedness in the competition.
….sense….but on the other hand, its good to start identifying a ‘local’ nation team players now….identify who would blend in with the pros…the other factor is that… in case just a handful of pros turn up…u have to be ready with the locals……
Yes Davy Kalandanya(Spacio) of Konkola Blades must be in the local squad.Bruce Musakanya must be dropped forth with!
Don’t expect anything from a coach who has never coached anywhere. Zambia will be knocked out in the preliminaries. It will be the first time since Patrick Phiri that we won’t go to the finals. Happy mourning!
What is the logic of calling the players he dropped last week? It’s just his lack of experience playing confusion with him. I have said it before: Janza has been thrown into the deep end by a mindless FAZ. FAZ should know that a national coach earns the job via results not via CV. I doubt whether Janza even has a CV because he has nothing to put in it. Coaches dont become national manager through the back door. They usually become national coaches after succesfully coaching a club. National coach is a very big job. Janza will soon find out that he is an amateur when Zambia loses all her matches.
