China based striker Evans Kangwa has been recalled to the Chipolopolo squad after a one year absence.
Zambia coach Avram Grant has named Kangwa in his 27-member provisional squad for the September 9 Africa Cup qualifiers against Comoros.
He last featured for Chipolopolo in September 2022.
Meanwhile, striker Fashion Sakala has been suspended for the Comoros game after accumulating two successive yellow cards.
According to FAZ Media, Zambia will enter camp on September 4 in Lusaka before flying out to Comoros.
Zambia tops Group H with 12 points, two better than Ivory Coast who will be hosting Lesotho and have already qualified as hosts.
