Zambia coach Honour Janza named his 19-member team he will field to face Rwanda this Sunday.
Zambia host Rwanda in an international friendly at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.
The team includes all the foreign-based call-up minus defender Aaron Katebe of FC Platinum in Zimbabwe who failed to turn up for pre-match camp in Lusaka.
TP Mazembe’s trio of defender Kabaso Chongo, striker Given Singuluma including Zambia captain and midfielder Rainford Kalaba are in the team.
Amazulu striker Bornwell Mwape is set to end his 15 month exile from the fold this Sunday.
Mwape last played for Zambia in December 2013 at the Cecafa Cup in Kenya where Chipolopolo finished third.
Meanwhile, Red Arrows goalkeeper Daniel Munyao is set to start in goals on Sunday in place of number one Kennedy Mweene who was not selected for the friendly and has been benched at South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
“We always take games seriously,” Kalaba said.
“This game will be played on the FIFA date so we must win because it counts on points for the FIFA world rankings. The team is looking good and focused for the match.”
Team:
Goalkeepers: Danny Munyao (Red Arrows), Jacob Banda (Zesco United)
Defenders: Bronson Chama (Red Arrows), Kayawe Kapota, Donashano Malama (both Nkana), Billy Mutale, Christopher Munthali (both Power Dynamos), Boyd Mkandawire (Napsa Stars), Kabaso Chongo (TP Mazembe,DRC)
