Bonetti Set To Name Team on Friday

Dario Bonetti says he will only unveil his final 20-man traveling party to face Comoros on Friday prior to departure.

Bonetti’s side wrapped up their one-week pre-2012 Africa Cup Group C qualifier training camp in Lusaka on Thursday afternoon.

“In my mind everything is clear. The final team I have in my mind but first I want to talk to the players this evening because we have to leave out three players because we have to travel with only 20 players,” Bonetti said.

“More or less it is the same team that has served us in the group games.”

Bonetti said there will be changes giving very little away although it seems Israeli based duo of Justin Zulu and William Njobvu will be battling for a place on Sunday’s line-up in the defensive midfield role.

The Italian also warned that he was not giving away as to what his starting line-up will be like.

“Somebody will change obviously because Chansa is injured,” Bonetti said.

“Normally the players will know two hours before the game who is going to play I want to keep all the players with the maximum concentration.”

Meanwhile, Zambia beat Division 2 south club Young Zanaco 6-0 in a training game played at Sunset Stadium to wrap-up their training camp in Lusaka.

James Chamanga, Collins Mbesuma, Francis Kasonde including a Rainford Kalaba brace handed Zambia the win in-between a missed penalty by Christopher Katongo.

The team leaves for Comoros on a Zambezi Airlines chartered flight at 14:00 from Lusaka International Airport on Friday and returns home on Sunday after the match that will kickoff at 14:00 Zambian time.
