The football career of injured Zambia Under-17 star Changwe Kalale is uncertain after suffering a spinal injury in a car accident last Sunday.

Kalale of Chambishi Football Club, Chipolopolo defender Nyambe Mulenga and Choma Green Eagles goalkeeper Satchmo Chakawa on Sunday suffered with serious injuries in a car accident outside Kitwe on their way to join the Zambia national team’s pre-2015 Africa Cup training camp in Lusaka.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Zesco United spokesperson Katebe Chengo said the spinal injury has left Kalale paralyzed.

“Changwe Kalale sustained a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the waist going downwards.He also sustained a right broken thigh and broken leg,” Chengo said.

The youngster is admitted to the Unversity Teaching Hospital in Lusaka.

“His condition has been described as stable,” she said.

Kalale was given a lift by Zesco United officials who were taking Nyambe to Lusaka when their minibus collided with a Toyota Prado in Kabwe.

Chawaka was guest of Zesco where he had gone to negotiate a prospective transfer.
