Zambia U20 coach Charles Bwale has confirmed that he will be with just one foreign-based call-up for this Sunday’s junior international friendly against Malawi at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.
Bwale’s side has secured two friendly dates at home in Lusaka against Malawi and South Africa before their 2019 U20 AFCON final round qualifying date against Burundi in mid-July.
Israel-based Klins Kangwa, who has been in camp since Zambia U20 kicked-off training a week ago, is set for his junior debut this weekend.
But the Zambia bench is hoping the Hapoel Be’er Sheba midfielder will be fully fit for the Malawi game after returning to training on Tuesday following a brief injury layoff.
Bwale also revealed that the English-based duo of striker Mwiya Malumo and Lifumba Mwandwe are expected to arrive on July 3 ahead of the final friendly against South Africa to be played at the same venue on July 7.
“I have no problem with the two youngsters (Mwiya and Lifumba) but they will join camp after the Malawi game but I’m certain that they will come,” Bwale said.
Meanwhile, midfielder Edward Chilufya of Djurgardens in Sweden is set to miss both friendlies as FAZ continues to negotiate for his release for the 2019 U20 AFCON dates against Burundi on July 14 at Nkoloma and July 21 away in Bujumbura.
Winner over both legs will qualify for the 2019 U20 AFCON final that Niger will host next February.
There is no point in wasting to bring foreign players for friendly matches to be honest.
