Share

Defender Simon Silwimba and midfielder Anthony Akumu have recovered in time for Zesco’s 2018 CAF Champions’ League Group D away date this Friday against Primeiro de Agosto.

Silwimba missed Zesco’s 0-0 away draw against Power Dynamos on Sunday after sustaining a knock against Agosto in the first leg meeting at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on July 17 that also ended scoreless.

Akumu returns after missing Zesco’s last two games following an injury he incurred in Zesco’s abandoned home league game against Nkana on July 13.

The Kenyan international subsequently missed the 0-0 first leg meeting against Agosto.

Meanwhile, Zesco’s 18-member team departs for Luanda on Wednesday afternoon from Lusaka ahead of the July 27 clash.

Zesco are bottom of Group D with 2 points, tied with third placed Agosto and are five points behind leaders Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia.

Mbabane Swallows of eSwatini are second on 4 points with three rounds of group stage fixtures left to play.

  1. ZESCO UNITED is lacking precision at finishing. They are wasteful at goal. I do not see them going far.
