Zambia and TP Mazembe midfielder Rainford Kalaba has been ruled of this Saturday’s crucial 2013 Africa Cup qualifier against Uganda in Kampala because of injury.
TP Mazembe revealed that Kalaba sustained a groin injury in his Congolese side’s 0-0 Â Africa Champions League semi-final draw against Esperance on Sunday in Lubumbashi.
Mazembe team doctor Taha Messaoud told BBC Sport:”He needs a minimum seven days to be back in training. His injury is not too bad but he needs a lot of care. It will be very difficult for him to play by weekend.”
Confirming his injury, Kalaba said he was disappointed to miss the decisive Africa Cup qualifier.
“I am very disappointed because it’s a crucial game for us. If we don’t qualify,people back home will not understand. I just pray that the guys get a positive result in Uganda. I believe in them and I know they will do wonders,” said Kalaba.
Zambia set up camp in South Africa on Sunday ahead of the Uganda match and trained on Monday.
do not worry kalaba. With the news coming from fifa, awarding u guys points for the world cup, the lads are more than motivated to sweep uganda to dustbins.
