Striker Fashion Sakala will not be part of the Chipolopolo’s 2019 AFCON qualifier on Sunday away against Guinea Bissau after he left camp on Wednesday.

The striker from Belgian club KV Oostende left camp just after Zambia’s 2-1 win over Guinea Bissau at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka in a match he as an unused substitute.

“Fashion left camp when they returned from the match .It has something to do with an administrative issue over the way his travel itinerary from his base in Europe for the match was handled that the coach is not pleased with,” a source told LT Sports.

The affair also saw team manager Hastings Ndovi banished from camp on the eve of the game but was recalled after the match.

  1. This is end of Fashion’s career in Chipolopolo, until a new coach comes up. That is your Zambia. Such a young progressive talent gone in drains.
    Do I have to list all damaged Zambian players?

    • Please let’s close the chapter because people will just begin to insult before they establish the bottom line of this matter. Wish chipolopolo a win 4 goals win in Sundays match

    • Good for him! Fashion still thinks he is a baby and should be given special treatment. I don’t think he’s ready for Chipolopolo yet. Let him go and grow up. Thanks coach.

  2. This is annoying, why not all players leave camp then? The time everybody was happy that Zambia will win in Guinea Bissau, you bring same nonsense you did to Mbola. You failed to win in Namibia because of Mbola atmosphere. Here we go again….
    – Mbola is such a happy and funny boy, just same as Fashion who is full of jokes and self-selling.
    PF culture…. styupid idyots.

  3. Comment:am happy with sven.when you are selfish and rude,you finish yourself…we have great attackers and i didn’t miss fassion.

  4. Too bad for Fashion Sakala. We all must appreciate that football is about discipline. If the coach feels that one individual is destabilising the rest of the squad, kick him out. I support the coach’s stance.

    • Fashion “muntu waku muzi” Sakala. The young man has just finished himself. He doesn’t listen. Football is absolutely all team work

  5. Apparently it’s the mother who is sick and has asked for permission to be with the sick mum. Thumbs up to him. The family is more important than anything else, though we would loved to have in the squad.

  6. SVEN WHO ? When will Zambian coaches be given time to progress with the team instead of replacing them with mediocre foreigners ??

    • Just sit down imwe. Didn’t you have a string of local coaches who failed pamene apa? The team is starting to look like one which plays something with a resemblance to modern football

    • Kwena chachine Mbizo. The ball control was amazing against Guinea Bissau and the team played attractive football with Mwepu showing he will soon be a Mbappe

  7. The boy hasn’t been performing since joining the senior team. I guess he’s not happy with sitting on the bench.

  8. Comment:what you people don’t understand is that it wasn’t fashions fault but it’s the national team technical bench and club who brought him in that way did u expect him to use his on transport when coming?

  9. My issue with Fashion is that he isn’t really a team player. Will shoot on goal and miss while another player is clear on goal. Ka selfishness kaliko extreme, you have to finish off your chances or don’t bother. Be ruthless in front of goal, my boy.

  10. The statement is saying his travel arrangements not him being undisciplined people let’s learn to get to the bottom of an issue before we comment anyhow.

    • How has his travel arrangements got to do with the coach putting fashion on the bench? Everyone has travel arrangements. It makes sense to say he reported late to camp or something like that.

  11. Cheapest commodity on earth is opinion.
    Before you comment try to get to the bottom of something. Sikukamba chabe.

  12. am lost no this point wen the boy left after the game did he came back or wat and why is he not with the team was he dropped or he decide to be with the family put me in clear picture

  13. U think football is easy? U play fifa and u foolishly think u can score. If u think Fashion isn’t good enough then shouldn’t it be u on the pitch!!!
    Fashion is a good player and needs your love and support.
    NEXT TIME I WILL WRITE NONSENSE IF SOMEBODY SAY RUBBISH.

  14. FASHIONS UNCLE Dr Faustin Banda the UPND FUGITIVE WHO RUN AWAY WITH CAMPAIGN MONEY AND MATERIALS AFTER BEING ADOPTED UNDER UPND TALKED TO COACH BEFORE THE GAME THAT MY NEPHEW TRAVELLED PLEASE INCLUDE HIM IN STARTING 11, COACH WAS ANNOYED AND BENCHED FASHION AND WHILST AT BENCH COACH TOLD FASHION PLEASE NEVER GIVE MY PHONE NUMBER TO UR UNCLES OR RELATIVES WHO END UP CAMPAIGNING FOR YOUR PLACE IN FIRST LINE UP, FASHION WAS CRAZY ABOUT IT AS HE WAS NOT AWARE , HENCE AFTER THE MATCH WENT STRAIGHT TO HIS UNCLES HOME ,THOUGH AS USUAL HIS UNCLE WAS NOT HOME THINKING ITS UPND COMING TO GET BACK MONEY AND MATERIALS

  15. Comment: please try to find out what led fashion out of the camp after the match, the problem with as Zambian we just look at the bad part one can do, Zambia has a lot of educated people but very ignorant, the guy needs some advice not insults, he is not a politician to insult.
