Coach Honour Janza has named in-form Zesco United midfielder Justin Zulu in his 26-man Chipolopolo squad for the 29th March friendly against Rwanda set for National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.
Zulu last call-up was in June, 2014 in Zambia’s 4-3 loss to Japan in a friendly played in Tampa, Florida.
His exploits in the 2015 CAF Champions League where he has scored three goals in three games appears to have earned him a slot in the national team.
Janza has also recalled South Africa based robust striker Bornwell Mwape of Amazulu who missed out on the Africa Cup squad earlier in 2015.
Zesco United keeper Jacob Banda and TP Mazembe defender Kabaso Chongo are the other players Janza has recalled.
The Rainford Kalaba captained side regroups in Lusaka on Sunday ahead of the friendly match against the East African nation.

Janza, where is Kennedy Mweene,? Have you discarded him ? I think you are now making a mistake by discarding Mweene. It was going to be fine if you called him and just put him on the bench unlike discarding him completely. All the best as you play Rwanda on a friendly.
Janza is looking for talent,he is doing the right thing.Can FAZ give him a contract please?Chishimba Kambwili must intervene.(next predident)
