No Cosafa for Chama

Share

2013 Cosafa Cup winning captain Bronson Chama will miss Zambia’s defence of the title due to injury.

The Red Arrows defender will miss the Cosafa Castle Cup due to a hip injury he sustained in league action.

“Chama will need almost a month to recover from the hip injury,” Zambia team physio Gibson Chaloba said.

“We are monitoring his progress but he can’t at Cosafa.”

This is Chama second tournament blow this year after failing to make the 2015 Africa Cup team.

Meanwhile, 19 players trooped into camp for the first day of pre-tournament camp in Lusaka ahead of departure for South Africa on Wednesday.

They included striker’s Musonda Mwape of Orlando Pirates and Bornwell Mwape from Amazulu.

Other PSL call-ups Kennedy Mweene, Davies Nkausu and Mukuka Mulenga will link up with the team in Johannesburg on Wednesday en route to Rustenberg where the 2015 Cosafa Cup is being held from May 17-30.

Zambia will enter the competition at the quarterfinal stage on May 24.

They await the winner from Group A where Namibia, Seychelles, Mauritius and Zimbabwe are engaged in a battle for the lone quarterfinal spot.

  1. Evans Kangwa is at NKANA????
    What is wrong with that boy kanshi… is it discipline?
    The old version of COSAFA was only for local players, but now even the Mweene’s?

  2. Replace him kaili, why include him in the squad if he is out? Bring in that boy Chama from Nchanga or is it Chilufya? Ba Chama nabakula

  3. Why Musonda Mwape of Orlando Pirates and Bornwell Mwape from Amazulu has to report for camping in Lusaka instead of joining the team in SA like Mweene and other will do?
