The U20 coach should also start thinking of calling LAMISHA MUSONDA (son of Charles Musonda based in Belgium)TO CAMP. This is the right time to build a solid foundation for the senior by observing upcoming footballers, rather than wait until it’s too late.
HI
Forget about Lamisha Musond he can never play for Zambia, what has Zambia done for the boy. he is better off to play for BELGIUM. BY the way he has no Zambian Passport. The father is just playing games by saying he wants to play for Zambia, deep down his heart he knows.
