Rainford Kalaba might make a full return to training this week when Zambia enters camp in Johannesburg.
Zambia team physician Doctor Joseph Kabungo said he set to make a decision this week when the team goes into camp on December 26.
“Rainford is doing well I think he should be able to join full training in the next few days,” Dr Kabungo said.
“We will determine how well he’s progressed in the next few days.”
Kalaba sustained his injury in a CAF Champions League semifinal game against Esperance of Tunisia on October 10 in Lubumbashi.
The midfielder has since then been sidelined and has been doing light separately from the rest of the Zambia team since it entered camp on December 15 in Lusaka.
Kalaba also missed Zambia’s final leg qualifier against Uganda on October 13 and sat-out last Saturdays 1-0 loss to Tanzania in a friendly game.
He has fully recovered By now and he should join in traing so that fittness wont be a problem.
My biggest worry is that he has not on the pitch in the last 3 months and this might affect his perfection.
Zambia without Kalaba is like….let me see …..
..Like what, we are waiting!!
this reminds me of Ghana in angola 2010 – wat happened to essien might be the kalaba thing. so wat to do now is to expose the fellow to the games now then wil know if hez ok than to wait for the worse at afcon.
#2 ..Like what, we are waiting!!
is like going into an exam with a faulty pen!
Nostradamus
Eish!!!! there is no copmarison….So,you know how ESSENTIAL the man is to the team
Meant to say/write COMPARISON
we should just hope he manages this time around before the afcon
Don’t be worried though ,cos  Renard is gona feature him in the match against Norway.
I wish you all the best and my prayers for your full fitness Kalaba we need you
Na bakashe fye, kalefusha fye number of players. He will play next AFCON 2015 why should we worry, lets focus on who will play in his number before we waste time…….Chisamba Lungu, Mukuka Mulenga, Isaac Chansa and many more kuti bafwala insapato sha mwaiche and we can still conquer Africa.
We have enough material and amunition to silence Africa………Lets go Zambia!!!!!!, Boyi washala weka, ifwe natusangalala pantu Zambia 1…….
