Zambia has suffered its first setback ahead of the formality clash against Cameroon with versatile Zesco United midfielder a major doubt for the November 11 game.
Zambia will host Cameroon in a formality 2018 FIFA World Cup Group B qualifier at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.
Kondwani has been sidelined with what is believed to be a hamstring injury that he sustained two games ago while in league action for Zesco.
“He is not available for now due to the injury. He needs to heal,” Zambia team manager Chris Chibuye said.
“We called 28 players and we need 23 for the game, so we have enough back up.
“He came to be examined by the national team doctors and they have OK’d the treatment that he is receiving from the club.”
Kondwani suffered the injury on November 1 in Zesco’s 1-0 home win at Levy Stadium over Kabwe Warriors.
The defensive midfielder limped off in the 28th minute and was replaced by Kenyan international Anthony Akumu.
Meanwhile, Zambia kicked off their training camp in Ndola today, November 6 with five-South African-based players joining the local contingent in training.
Brian Mwila of Platinum Stars, Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene, Orlando Pirates striker Justin Shonga, Lewis Macha of Baroka FC and Ajax Cape Town midfielder Roderick Kabwe were all part of Monday morning training at Levy Stadium.
Chibuye said all the European-based call-ups are expected to join camp on Tuesday.
