“As of now they have not communicated I take it that Power Dynamos is holding on to them meaning that we will not have a look at them,” Zambia team manager Lusekelo Kamwambi said after the team of 18 home-based callups entered camp in Lusaka on Monday.

“We have made arrangements to fly the players to Lusaka immediately after the game on Wednesday,” Mamfunda said.
He added that Power could not face Zesco without any key players especially in a critical match like Wednesdays.
