Festus Mbewe has returned to Nkana following the expiry of his six-month loan deal at South Africa PSL club Golden Arrows.
Mbewe joined his Nkana team mates in training on Wednesday morning after arriving back in Kitwe on Tuesday.
Speculation is he might make his return this Saturday when Nkana host Sewe Sport of Cote d’Ivoire in a 2014 CAF Confederation Cup Group B match in Kitwe.
“It is good to be back but I’m not guaranteed that I will play this Saturday because I have not played for the last two weeks,” Mbewe said.
Mbewe is eligible to play for Nkana in continental club action following his registration by the club before before he left for South Africa in January.

Lt please dont give us reports on takataka players. That player has no quality and my prayer is that he will not wear our national colours unless otherwise he proves beyond doubt that he can deliver.
Spot On @ wrt: One horrible striker!!! Ala ba Festus LIKULAA!!!
IT WAS ISAAC CHANSA AND NOW FESTUS MBEWE NOT BEING QUITE GOOD FOR THE SOUTH AFRICAN FOOTBALL STANDARDS (I GUESS EVEN ONE OF THE KANGWAS) BUT UPON ARRIVAL, STRAIGHT BACK ON THE PITCH EVEN AT NATIONAL LEVEL! NOTHING PERSONAL AGAINST THE LADS, BUT DOES IT RINGS BELLS IN OUR EARS THAT SOMETHING IS SURELY WRONG WITH THE FOOTBALL STANDARDS IN THIS COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT? HOW CAN SOME OF OUR BEST PLAYERS AT CLUB AND NATIONAL LEVELS FAIL TO IMPRESS IN ANOTHER LEAGUE OF ANOTHER COUNTRY? ANY LESSONS? THE RETURNING LADS SHOULD HELP IMPROVE FOOTBALL TACTICS IN THIS COUNTRY BY BEING HONEST TO THEIR LOCAL COACHES ON TACTICS THAT DO NOT WORK OR THAT CANNOT HELP RAISE THE STANDARD OF FOOTBALL IN THE COUNTRY. WE HAVE JUST BEEN ROTATING SAME COACHES AROUND BUT WITH PROBABLY SAME TACTICS AND POSSIBLY BORING!
FESTUS WAS ON LOAN TO A CLUB IN RELEGATION WATERS ! IT WAS NOT A GOOD MOVE FOR HIM TO GO THERE ! HOWEVER , HE DOES ADD AN AERIAL THREAT TO NKANA’S ATTACK ! . . AND NO TO 1 & 1.1 , HE IS NOT A BAD PLAYER ! HE IS HIGHLY FEARED BY DEFENDERS ! HE HELPED SATE SATE SCORE BY ATTRACTING DEFENDERS AWAY !
Let Festus be on the first line up if he proves nothing then u can introduce Evans, that clear goal Evans failed to score in Egypt if it was Festus he shld have scored don’t play name football these are the pipo who helped us to be where we are now for Mucheleng’anga I solute him he was so outstanding in Egypt credit goes to him.
