Chipolopolo keeper Kennedy Mweene will be out of action for more than a week after suffering a concussion in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Uganda in a friendly in Ndola.
Mweene was hit in the face by Uganda’s Emmanuel Okwi at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium before being replaced by Joshua Titima.
Zambia team doctor Joseph Kabuongo said:”Kennedy suffered a trauma to the head during the first half and was rushed to the hospital where he was observed for almost three hours.”
Dr. Kabungo said he has talked to Mweene’s coach at Mamelodi Sundowns Pitso Mosimane over the keeper’s condition.
“I recommended to Pitso immediately after the match that Kennedy takes a rest for the next seven to ten days before he is allowed to take part in competitive matches,” he said.
Mweene was expected to fly back to South Africa on Thursday.
He will miss Sundowns’ league match against AmaZulu set for Sunday.
