Zesco United anxious await the return of their influential Zambia midfielder Jonas Sakuwaha ahead of Saturdays opening Caf African Champions League Group A home match against Kano Pillars of Nigeria.
Sakuwaha was by Wednesday evening winding up his week-long trial spell at French Ligue 1 side Lorient in a friendly match on Wednesday evening against Valenciennes that finished 3-3.
The technicial bench is hoping Sakuwaha will arrive in time for Saturdays game that will be played at Konkola Stadium in Chililabombwe.
Meanwhile, one player who is definitely rule out of the Group A fixture is international midfielder William Njobvu who is currently away on trials in Israel.
And Pillars on Thursday morning fly out from Lusaka to Ndola ahead of their away leg match this weekend.
Pillars will then proceed to Chingola where they will be officially be camped after a three-day private training camp in Lusaka since arriving in Zambia on Monday night.
His presence will definately add more amunition to the team. Good luck Zesco, Ndola will never be Ndola without you, Ama light, Zesco!! go boys go
There is lack of seriousness on part of Zesco United, how do right thinking managers allow key players to go for trials with foreign teams. I know the two years need to enahance their careers. Even if sakuwaha joined the team to feature on Saturday he may not coordinate well with other players as he has bin away whilst others were training together. I see Zesco being booted out. Bruno Mukeya what has gone wrong with your strategy?
