WEEKEND SCORECARD: Chipolopolo enter day-two camp ahead of dead-rubber date

Share

Zambia are at full house ahead of their dead-rubber home game against Namibia on Saturday in Lusaka but will be without goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene for that formality 2019 AFCON Group K qualifier.

Mweene has withdrawn from the match due to injury and is the third high profile player missing from the team together with midfielder Rainford Kalaba and defender Stopilla Sunzu who were not picked for the date.

“If you look at Mweene and Stopilla, they have been playing for the national team for a long time and I think, looking at the future, other plans will come in for them but looking at this game, they will not be there,” interim Zambia coach Aggrey Chiyangi said on the second day of training camp in Lusaka.

“But otherwise they remain important assets for this nation.

Chiyangi said Zanaco goalkeeper Toaster Nsabata, who has just returned from a two-week injury layoff, and Lawrence Mulenga from Power Dynamos, will battle for the number one shirt.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Pirates duo of Justin Shonga and Augustine Mulenga are due to join camp in Tuesday evening after attending to their CAF Champions League away date against Horoya in Guinea on Saturday.
