Hichani Eyes Mid-January Recovery

Injured Zambia defender Hichani Himoonde says he expects to be back in action on January 15.

“The doctors told me I will have to rest my foot until January 15 for it to fully heal,” Himoonde said.

Himoonde is in the process of completing a one-year loan deal to Zesco United today from Lusaka Dynamos.

He said was hopeful of playing in Zesco’s 2009 CAF Africa Champions League preliminary stage 1st leg home leg match against Mathare United of Kenya on January 31 in Ndola.

Himoonde’s injury means he has also been ruled out of Zambia’s participation in this years Cecafa Challenge Cup in Uganda, a competition he made his senior debut in, in 2006 when Chipolopolo won the trophy.

Meanwhile, Zambia go into camp tomorrow in Lusaka with a 23-membner squad that also includes Philemon Chipeta who ends a five-year exile from the squad.

The team will be under the helm of George Lwandamina and Patrice Beaumelle while head trainer Herve Renard will join the squad on Friday after returning from a holiday in France.

    This is what real men do instead of behaving like boys who make noise like gongs.

  3. All Zambians Please watch this Interview on Youtube, Zambia does not have leaders, The loans they are borrowing just enslaves a country Please watch this video by John Perkins on Youtube “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man – Part I”

  4. President Lansana Conte’s death spells the end of years of misrule in Guinea. When is the misrule of Zambia coming to an end? :-?:-?

  5. Nyama Soya:”we will not allow the miners who lost their jobs in Luanshya to remain jobless but we dont know what to do”
    😮

  6. Nyama soya has gone with to Mfuwe for a holiday with all his sons and their wives and grandchildren imagine people. Meanwhile am wishing you all the people on this blog a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Remember put God first in whatever you do. God bless you as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and as we enter the new year 2009. @};-

  7. #18, I wondered what kind of a leader can say such a thing to the media “we dont’ know what to do”, why is he there if he does not know what to do? To make matters worse the VP was just agreeing, nodding his head (meaning both dont’ know what to do). A leader is suposed to lead by knowing how to solve problems, thats why he is given all the powers and authority, but unfortunatly he does not know what to do, we are dead!!!! Ask HH he seems to have a solution.

  8. Mugabe is right the worst are the west, America abd UK are axis of evil, killed so many people around the world. Robert Mugabe is a man strong and courageous.
