Chipolopolo coach Avram Grant has announced his 26-man squad for the upcoming AFCON Qualifier matches against Chad. Zambia will host Chad on 11th October at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium before travelling for the second leg four days later.
Fashion Sakala Jr, a forward from Saudi Arabia, has been left out once again due to a disagreement with the coach back in May. This happened when Sakala was not included in the back-to-back World Cup qualifiers.
On a positive note, defender Frankie Chisenga Musonda has returned after recovering from an injury that caused him to miss the game against Ivory Coast and the win over Sierra Leone.
In addition, NAPSA Stars striker Jimmy Mukeya, Green Buffaloes goalkeeper Francis Mwansa, and Spain-based Francisco Mwepu have all been called back.
In last month’s match day two, Zambia’s Chipolopolo secured their first victory in the African Cup of Nations Group G, defeating Sierra Leone 3-2 at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Grant’s side will look to strengthen their position in the table with wins over CHAD. Ivory Coast continues to lead on six points, with Zambia close behind at three points, Sierra Leone and Chad point apiece.
