Zambia train behind closed doors

Share

Zambia trained at Nkoloma Stadium behind closed doors again on Tuesday as preparations for Saturday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup Group B qualifying clash a against Algeria in Lusaka.

It was the second successive practice session that Zambia held away from the public eye after doing so on Monday afternoon across town at Woodlands Stadium.

On Tuesday, Zambia moved to Nkoloma where the 32 players trained in the morning before Wedson Nyirenda gave them the afternoon off.

This is after a gruelling full day on Monday at Woodlands after the team reported for camp on Sunday afternoon.

But still missing after two days of training was striker Fashion Sakala of Russian Club Spartak Moscow.

Fashion was by presstime in transit from Russia after being in league action on Sunday evening for Spartak Moscow II in the second tier of the Russian League .

Spartak II won 3-2 away win at 12th placed Kuban in a match Fashion scored a brace for the 7th placed side.

Fashion is expected to be grace Wednesday’s training.

Meanwhile, Algeria are due to land in Lusaka on a chartered flight on Thursday.

  1. Ba coach do whatever you need to do in order to win the game, however, if Zambia loses or draws, please do the honorable thing – RESIGN!!

  2. This is Wada’s last chance. Win this game and the return and you will shut all of us up. We will have no choice but be behind you. Lose and we will boo

  3. “Fashion is expected to be grace Wednesday’s training.” What is the meaning of this sentence? WADA is winning back to back, we just hope kamelun beats Nigeria and on return they draw because zambia will have 7 points by next week and lead the table. WADA is tumbuka from eastern we have done all the needfull dont worry and that ka boy called master is out so no pressure

  4. Zambia has to be in tip top form and alert through out the game to beat Algeria. Algeria has a very good side and boost of world class players Mahrez, Brahimi and slimani in their squad. Zambia performs better when written off. We will carry the day.
    I hope FAZ will be chartering flights for the team like the Algerians have done. This saves on time and reduces stress and fatigue. I remember travelling with the team to Congo Brazzaville which is about 2.30 on a direct flight from Zambia. We had to go to Addis then connect to Brazza. It took a good 2 days and we arrived for the game in batches. Players looked fatigued and eventually lost the game. Good luck Zambia

  5. You have our unwavering support, so don’t let us down … watch that Mehrez guy n shred Algeria to pieces. I see Cameroon n Nigeria sharing the spoils in Uyo . Win the match at all costs please.
