  1. Knowing Zambians obviously ni nkhani ya VISA or some reason equally stupid because they have stated that all the players except him will travel including those who are suspend or injured.

  2. for all you know he calls himself Rooney or something during training and if I was the coach facing a team that has the real “Rooney I should be leaving him behind!

  3. As usual, Zambian players make terrible judgements about change of clubs. Fwayo should not have accepted the money to go to Qatar. Look where Kasonde has found himself, TP Mazembe of all places sure?

  4. Let us be serious with our reporting.As a Zambian sports jounaulist, surely, you should know by now that Fwayo was loaned out at the beginning of the current season hence he cant travel to England.

  5. Zambian footballers all they play for is money period.Why go to Qatar club who will never play any EURO games? Shame as we celebrate your soccer downfall baFwayo!

  6. Am sure its a case of indiscipline which is typical of most Zambian footballers. The ***** probably had a hangover during training.

    What’s your point????? Football is nowadays a business issue. Pointless for you to think that those playing in Euro games are better off than those not playing the Euro game. Let them (players) go anywhere they are assigned to. Those that may flock to Europe for soccer end up warming benches. Charles Muaonda was inkere 1995 he was warming the bench 89 minute .. LT should have phoned Fyayo or his manager to access the situation. It is pointless to report on hear-say issues.

  8. The reason why he was not in the squad is quite simple.
    He handed in a transfer request, but the transfer didn’t go through, because he didn’t get the visa to go for the medical tests in time. Now the transfer period has passed and so he needs to stay with Basel.
    The Basel manager only wants player comitted to the club, which Tembo obviously isn’t, so he has been sent to train with the youth team. So in fact he is no longer part of the first team squad.
    And by the way, his performances weren’t very convincing anyway. So he would have been very unlikely to play against Manchester even if he had not wanted to leave the club.
