Zambia 2014 World Cup campaign has been hit by a major setback with news that Rainford Kalaba will miss both of the teams’ June Group D qualifiers.
Kalaba, who underwent an MRI scan in Lusaka on to ascertain the extent of his calf injury, will be out for the next three weeks.
“The extent of the injury is that he will be out for the next two or three weeks,” Zambia team doctor Joseph Kabungo said at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Friday afternoon on their last day of training before Saturdays crucial Group D qualifier at the same venue.
“Maybe sometime next week he might start light training.
“Right now he is not with the team in camp.”
Kalaba was initially ruled out for Saturday’s game against Lesotho in Ndola.
The midfielder sustained the injury fortnight ago while in action for his DR Congo club TP Mazembe.
Kalaba the bad boyi.I saw him newule mumotoka mailo.Abo chalilila.It might be a blessing in disguise.
Mukuka Mulenga will play. i love that player
If Mukuka Mulenga fails to stump the ground, use the experience of Noah Chivuta. Or simply pack the midfield with strikers, Chamanga ku right wing, Chris Katongo pa centre mid. But there also those local boys from Nkana.
Next match against Sudan, we have heard Clifford Mulenga is in the house!!!
Sudan 1:1Ghana, second half
Ghana reduced to 10 men
And also get lamisha………….he is a gem..
Sudan 1-2 Ghana
Sudan 1-3 Ghana
who was red carded
Asamoah Gyan scored a brace in the 16th and 60th minutes while Richard Boateng was sent off in the 27th minute.
Kalaba is not zambia, we can do better without him, what really cost us the lesotho in maseru was the use of the so called big names who we knew were injured.
