Nkana considering Evans Kangwa for Zesco clash

Share

Nkana coach Masautso Mwale will decide on Friday if striker Evans Kangwa can play in the big FAZ Super Division Copperbelt derby against Zesco United at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on Saturday.

Kangwa resumed training with Nkana on Wednesday after returning from a five-month trial spell at Spanish Segunda Division club Recreativo da Huelva.

“He is training with us but I cannot give an answer just yet but maybe tomorrow I will be able to see,” Mwale said.

Mwale said if Kangwa does not make the trip to Zesco on Saturday, he will certainly play in the Kitwe derby against Power Dynamos on July 3.

“You know he started training on Wednesday I am still accessing him I want to see if he can rise to the occasion or give him some few minutes or prepare him for the game against Power Dynamos,” Mwale said.

“I can only give a proper position tomorrow.”

Kangwa has missed leaders Nkana’s entire fine start to the 2013 season due to his trials in Spain.

The striker was top scorer in the 2011 season on 16 goals before injury curtailed his form in 2012 when he recorded just four goals.

Nkana and Zesco and first and second on 29 and 27 points respectively, after 12 games played this season.

  1. You have already have had a good start without him. For this reason I suggest that you play him as a substute by allowing him to watch the first half on the bench.

  2. let the young play.we need a win at all coast to mantain our lead and extent it to 5 points.its not that i don’t have faith with our curent strikers but we need a win at all coast.go kalampa go nkana and extend our history.thanx

  3. Since you have had a good start without him, I suggest that he should play as a substute in the second half by allowing him to watch on the bench in the first half.
    But feel free to do what you want to do as a Coach 🙂

  4. After a good start without him, I suggest that the lad can play as a substitue iAn the second half. Allowing him to watch on bench as he has been away for a long time, his club mates have developed a different tactic in his absence.. And the trial formular of play is still in him that may play a role into good or bad approach to the game.
