Zesco United Dealt Striking Blow

Share

Zesco United have been dealt a big blow with the news that they will be without a key player for their Caf African Champions League Group A game against El Merreikh of Sudan this Saturday.

Zesco travel to Sudan tomorrow without their top scorer in the Caf African Champions League.

The Ndola club revealed today that striker Enoch Sakala, with four Caf African Champions League goals this season, will serve an extra one-match ban after Caf extended his suspension for an extra one game.

Sakala missed Zesco’s match day 2 trip to Sudan a fortnight ago where they lost 2-0 away to Al Hilal.

The striker has accumulated four yellow cards in this years Caf African Champions League campaign with the first coming in the preliminary round home and away against Mathare United of Kenya.

That suspension saw him miss Zesco’s 0-0 first round away draw to Africa Sports of Cote d’Ivoire.

  1. And HR’s snatch of three zesco players for friendly in uk meant that should they fail to travel to Sudan after the uk outing, Simukonda’s team may exit.

    The national coach HR should have given good priority to zesco not this uk friendly match…

  2. Zesco UTD should invest more money in players. At African league level, every team must be well equipped with players. Suppose one striker gets injured, should that mean the end of the dream? North African teams do well because they rely on more than one striker. The same is true for European clubs. Buy more players!
