Zambia captain Stopilla Sunzu will miss Chipolopolo’s final two 2015 Africa Cup Group F qualifiers due to injury.
The defender from French club Sochaux sustained a hamstring injury in club action on Friday night in a 2-1 home Ligue 2 win over Ajaccio.
“We got a report from Sochaux that stopilla sustained an injury on Friday in a match he played 65 minutes,” Zambia team doctor Joseph Kabungo said.
Dr Kabungo added that the technical bench has requested that the player be allowed to fly down to Lusaka for them to make an independent analysis.
“If he comes tomorrow (Thursday) we will still go ahead and make an assessment and tally our findings with the findings in France,” Dr Kabungo said.
“We are competent and have experts and specialists to examine him from our own MRI and physical examinations.”
Meanwhile, coach Honour Janza described Sunzu’s absence as a big blow.
“It is usually not good to miss any of the players you have called especially when it has to do with an injury,” Janza said.
“Because it is not only painful to the team but painful to the player as well. I am sure he would love loved to finish the qualifiers with us.
“We wish him a quick recovery so that he can be with us in the next assignments.”
Bane natulabekofye kuli Africa CXup ya next year. After all theres actually no venue for the games. Only in Africa………..
For me his injury is for better. I watched that Katebe of Zimbabwe, on some kind of youtube, he is a clean player.
The players I doubt are:
-Stophila Sunzu
– And That Nathan, I don’t know why he can be better than Kondwani Mtonga.
– Kabaso Chongo, what position can better for him, maybe in goal.
Zambian utility players are:
– Kalaba
– Chisamba
– Kondwani
– Chivuta.
They can atleast play in 4 different positions.
Its ok if we don’t go for these games. After all there is no host and ebola is spreading fast.
Forget about isunzu he was not there when we beat niger he preferred to mourn his sister
Heartless comment …. or rather insensitive …. what would you do if you lost your sister … he chose is not a fair assessment … he had nothing to chose from … whishing Sunzu and our Chipoloplo well and success… Shalom
Even if we dont qualify who cares after all morocco has disqualified themselves to protect themselves from ebola virus. whao wants ebola anyway
SUNZU is a congolese, and when was he given the Captainship? anyway WE are used ruled by foreigners just like SCOT in plot 1. Recall chris katongo and mbesuma
@ Bola what do you mean when u say he was not there when we won Niger? i didnt mean be rude,but i watched the game from inside mwanawasa stadium , i sat on seat no 14 nothgate, and i was there when the game was just starting He( Sunzu) captained the team Check your record.
SUNZU did not play on the NIGER game, the NIGER Coach brought the issue of nationality that the boy is congolese of which he was right , then COACH removed him to avoid loosing points
