Zambia add more player for Gh
Rainford Kalaba and Mischek Lungu have been included in Zambia's friendly against Ghana tomorrow evening in London at Brisbane Road in the East End.
Faz communications officer Erick Mwanza said today in Lusaka that Kalaba and Lungu who are based in Portugal and Hungary respectively have been drafted in following a spate of withdrawals.
This follows over a dozen potential no-shows for the game due to problems in getting UK visa and injury.
Missing will be most or all of the five South African based contingent after delays in getting their UK visas filed in time at the British high commission in Pretoria including James Chamanga who is based in China.
Three European based players attendance for the game is also in question with midfielder Andrew Sinkala from Augsburg in Germany while defender Emmanuel Mbola from Pyunik Yerevan in Armenia is reportedly injured.
However, coach Herve Renard is also keeping his fingers crossed and hoping that former Under-23 midfielder Chanda Mwaba from RoPS in Finland will make the journey down to the London East end to play.
Mwaba is expected to make his senior debut after a three-year hiatus from the international scene.
Meanwhile, the match will also be Renard's first meeting against the Black Stars with whom he served as physical trainer two years ago under then coach and his mentor Claude Leroy.
