Green Eagles coach Justin Chinama has hailed Chipolopolo trainer Honour Janza for including more young local players in his 26-man squad to face Mozambique and Cape Verde in this month’s crucial 2015 Africa Cup qualifiers.
Janza has included 13 local players in the squad to play Mozambique away in Maputo on November 15 before Zambia hosts Cape Verde in Ndola four days later.
“Credit goes to coach Janza for taking such a bold decision to start fusing in young players. It is not easy but this is good for our football,” Chinama said.
Janza has dropped big guns such as Jacob Mulenga, Christopher Katongo, Collins Mbesuma and Fwayo Tembo.
“Including young players is a very welcome move. It is better to start blending new players in the team now because young players have got a lot of years to play,” he said.
Chinama wished Chipolopolo lucky in the coming qualifiers.
“I am wishing the National Team well in the remaining qualifiers. We should not miss the Africa Cup qualification.”

Stay focused Janza.You are on the right path…..the changes you have made to the team will definately bare fruit.Good luck.
