The Zambia national team went into camp today in Kitwe.
Zambia are in camp ahead of the teams 2012 Africa Cup Group C qualifier against Mozambique up the road in Chingola at Nchanga Stadium.
Striker Christopher Katongo was one of the first players to arrive in camp this morning ahead of Wednesdays first day of training at Arthur Davies stadium.
Meanwhile, coach Dario Bonetti has released three foreign-based players to the Under-23 team.
Lucky Msiska’s team are also in camp preparing for their 2012 Olympic Games qualifier away to Algeria on June 3.
Bonetti has given Msiska defender Emmanuel Mbola of DR Congo club TP Mazembe, strikers Roger Kola and Fwayo Tembo of Hapoel Rishon LeZion in Israel and Swiss club FC Basel respectively.
The trio was originally part of Bonetti’s 30-man list called up for the clash against Mozambique.
And two players will miss the Mozambique game namely James Chamanga due to injury and Jacob Mulenga who has just returned from a long injury layoff.
Mozambique have four points and third in Group C while Zambia are second on six points, one less than leaders Libya after three games played.
Libya will be away to winless and bottom placed Comoros.
Wish chipolopolo lucky. Its very tricky when chinaman , jacob mulenga, mbola , kola will not feature for Zambia. Take the game serious although u have gone in camp too late. Why give msiska those powerfull players when his performance is questionable???/
