Zambia’s August 12 friendly international against Ghana in London will be without players from Zesco United.
Zesco have reiterated their earlier statement that any call-ups from the defending league champions will not be released for any international engagements involving the national team this month.
The friendly, to be played in the London east-end at Brisbane Road, clashes on Zesco’s departure date for Sudan for their Caf African champions League Group A match against hosts Al Hilal.
Zesco will face Al Hilal in Khartoum three days after the Zambia-Ghana friendly on August 15.
The Ndola club has said they will only release any call-up 5 days before Zambia’s 2010 World/African Cup Group C qualifier against Algeria to be played on September 6 in Algiers.
