Lwandamina praises award winner Mbesuma

Zambia coach George Lwandamina has saluted in-form striker Collins Mbesuma for winning the South Africa league player of the month award.

Mbesuma won the ABSA player of the month award for October in what is his best start in the PSL for years where he currently tops on six goals so far.

“It is good for him, it is good for the nation,” Lwandamina said.

“I am sure he is experienced enough now after going through thick and thin in his career and I am sure it will not go to his head. He is an integral part of the national team and we need him.”

Mbesuma is part of Lwandamina’s nine foreign-based call-ups for next weeks 2018 World Cup second round doubleheader qualifier against Sudan.

Lwandamina recalled Mbesuma in September after he was axed by ex-coach Honour Janza a year ago and repaid the Zambia trainer with a goal and assist in a 2-1away win over Kenya in a 2017 Africa Cup qualifier on September 6 in Nairobi.

Zambia travel to Sudan on November 11 in Khartoum before hosting them on November 15 in Ndola.

Winner will advance to the final group stage qualifiers.
