Herve Renard has named two players from promotion chasing Nkana to his Cosafa Castle Challenge Cup team that regroups in Lusaka this Sunday prior for departure for Zimbabwe next week.
The duo is former Kitwe United and Chambishi defender Simon Nkole and ex-Zambia Under-17 midfielder Rabson Lwambula.
Nkole and Lwambula caught the attention of Renard a fortnight night ago when leaders Nkana beat Mufulira Wanderers 2-1 in a Division 1 North Week 26 match played at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka on September 27.
Lwambula scored one of Nkana’s goals in that match.
Meanwhile, Zambia are scheduled to play Namibia in the quarterfinal match at the Cosafa Cup on October 25 in a 15:00 kickoff at Rufaro Stadium in Harare.

Renard should just go he has really.
I alos wonder for what FAZ is keeping the man for? He has failed Zambia i tell you, ever sincve he came he has been negative about zambia and with him i wonder where Zambian football is heading to. How many goals has team scored ever since he came, the maximum is one per game and now he has gone four games without scoring altthough he is not himself palying is is to blame. Why cant FAZ get our local coach they can perform good than him,look at Patrick Phiri he managed to get us COSAFA,CESAFA , not this one what has he done only use luxury cars draining our depleted resources?
