Zambia has been hit by a double-blow with the news that defender Stopilla Sunzu and striker Evans Kangwa will miss Saturday’s opening 2017 Africa Cup Group E qualifier against Guinea Bissau in Ndola.
Team physician Doctor Joseph Kabungo said Kangwa will be out of action for at least two weeks.
“Stopilla is a lot better this morning and the primary diagnosis is he that has got a strained knee ligament on the left. He will be out for a minimum of two weeks,” Dr Kabungo said in Kitwe on Thursday.
Sunzu sustained his injury during his first training session with the team on Wednesday morning at Arthur Davies Stadium while Kangwa suffered his 24 hours earlier at the same venue.
“Evans has a left groin injury, I saw him this morning and he was in pain and for such injuries we wanted to give him a chance to see how he would do today but when we saw him, it wasn’t possible to be part of the game for the next 48 to 72 hours,” Dr Kabungo said.
Both players are still in camp where they are continue to receive treatment from the medical bench.
Things are moving from bad to worse. No coach and now no players. Yaba!
