Lusaka Dynamos are sweating on the fitness of their influential striker Chris Mugalu as the race for the top two places in Pool A and B of the 2019 transitional season hits the final bend.
The current 2019 FAZ Super Division top scorer on 9 goals was stretchered off with a facial injury in the 35th minute on Sunday of Dynamos 2-1 Lusaka derby home loss to Red Arrows at National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.
“Mugalu is feeling much better and at home. He sustained a nose injury. We will wait for the doctors’ advice on whether he can feature for the remaining games,” Dynamos coach Patrick Phiri said.
“I am praying that his declared fit as the remaining games are crucial to Lusaka Dynamos qualifying for continental, his a key player. I still have the faith that despite Sunday’s loss, we can achieve the target.”
With four games to go before the championship playoff top spot is decided, and the top two continental berths are also confirmed in Pool A, Dynamos are in fourth place on 23 points, three behind leaders Zanaco and one adrift of Zesco United and Arrows who are second and third respectively tied on 24 points.
