Zesco United goalkeeper Jacob Banda has been excused from both club and national duties.
The Zambia number two has been sidelined due to exhaustion and is not part of the Chipolopolo camp that kicked off on Monday in Ndola.
“Jacob has been advised by the medical team to rest for the next three weeks,” Zesco spokesperson Katebe Chengo said.
Banda missed Sunday’s 0-0 home draw against Lusaka Tigers that saw Brown Nyirenda start in his place.
The Zesco goalkeeper was Zambia’s number one at the 2016 CAF African Nations Championship in Rwanda where Chipolopolo reached the quarterfinals.
