Under-23 no-show Mukuka loses with Celtic

Share

Zambia Under-23 no-show Mukuka Mulenga was on the losing side on Friday night in South Africa.

Mukuka was a mysterious no-show for the Zambia Under-23 teams trip to play Nigeria this Sunday in a 2015 All-Africa games final round, first leg qualifier.

The midfielder started for Bloemfontein Celtic in their 1-0 away loss to Ajax Cape Town in a last 16 tie of the 2014/2015 Nedbank Cup.

Mukuka was Celtic’s major culprit missing several chances reminiscent of his days at Power Dynamos.

He was substituted in the 81st minute.

The midfielder was one of two foreign-based players called up for the All-Africa Games qualifier together with striker Ronald Kampamba of Egyptian club Wadi Degla who has made the trip for this weekend’s qualifier in Abuja.

  1. He would have been on fire if he remained at Power Dynamos. The move was not well calculated.
    What reason is he giving for not reporting for national duty. He preferred Celtic than U23? Chairman for technical sub committee ( Mr Happy Munkondya ) must hear this.

    • He was not obliged to play for Zambia as these All Africa games are not FIFA recognised. So just chill and leave the boy alone.

    Thank you so much for copying us this communication, we are so grateful. We also wish to inform you that we briefed the new Minister of Youths & Sports about consequencies that may come as a result of these individuals who are not members but taking but taking the Association court.

    We would be so grateful if we received this communication before the meeting tomorrow.
