Chisamba Fit to Face Nigeria

Chisamba Lungu is fit to face Nigeria says Herve Renard.

Renard said on Thursday that he expects the Russian-based midfielder to play in the crucial do-or-die Group C clash on January 25 at Mbombela Stadium.

“He received a knock on the foot he needed to rest for 24 hours he will train today (Thursday) and be ready for selection tomorrow,” Renard said.

Chisamba sustained his injury on January 21 after a crude tackle from suspended Ethiopia goalkeeper Bushura Tasew in the 32rd minute.

The midfielder however finished the game but limped out of Mbombela after the match that saw him sidelined from training on Wednesday.

  1. Go Zambia GO You are not called chipolopolo for nothing, lets rip the net net tomorrow

  2. hope he is 100% fit given the earlier scare who read on this blog.
    wish you all the best boys.

  3. Chisamba at the moment is Zambia’s dependable player. He is smart and quick. He is able to face the defenders of the opponents and dribble them (Ukubalungama). Only those who have played soccer can understand this. If only we had 3players like him the Nigerian team is a walk over.

  4. THE CHIPOLOPOLO BOYS NEED TO BE AT THEIR BEST FOR THIS GAME.MY WORRY IS THE DEFENSE AND MIDFIELD.ZAMBIA HAS CONCEEDED 3 PENALTIES IN THE LAST 3 AFCON COMPETITIVE MATCHES (GHANA,IVORY COAST,ETHIOPIA) BUT LUCK HAS BEEN ON OUR SIDE ,ALL 3 NOT BEEN SCORED
    IF THE DEFENCE CA NEUTRALIZES UICHE AND VICTOR MOSES AND OUR STRIKERS TAKE THEIR CHANCES,I FORSEE ZAMBIA IN THE QUATER FINALS AGAINST TUNISIA.
    GOOD LUCK ZAMBIA,WIN OR LOSE YOU ARE OUR HEROES!

  5. Fi makula fi zambia, I see a cricket score today, confidence ya chipenfu ba zambia ATASE

  6. LT be factual in your reporting, yesterday you made a confirmation that Chisamba wont play and today U come up with another story. Anyway best wishes to Zambia, the coach will be key to this game. His tactics and team selection will win or lose us this game. As I said before my support will be reserved until they prove a point against Nigeria. Go Zambia Gooooaaalllllll GoooooooooooooooAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlllllllllllAAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!!
    We are behind our team owez coz there is only one Zambia….

  7. Kalebalika iwe,what do u mean by “he is able to face the defenders of the opponent?” Do u know of anyone who faces his/her own defenders? pliz don’t express your ignorance in public..

  8. If you watch the replay of Zambia vs Ethiopia game in the second half you see Katongo with the ball in the eighteen area while Kalaba on the other side open and un marked calling for the ball to be past to him ….but Katongo decides to shot wide over the goal post. Why is KATONGO such a greed player? it’s seems he does not believe in team work.He only wants to make a name for himself and be counted on the score sheet.The boys should have won that match. I hope that wont happen.
