WEEKEND SCORECARD: ZANACO HEAD TO ALGERIA

Share

Zanaco will be without two players when they leave for Algeria on Tuesday ahead of Saturdays Caf Champions League second round, first leg match against hosts Entente Setif.

Zanaco fly out to Algeria at 07:00 on Tuesday from Lusaka to Algiers via Johannesburg.

Staying home will be left-back Maybin Chishimba and midfielder Henry Banda.

Chishimba will miss the match due to suspension after accumulating two yellow cards while Banda has a muscle injury that coach Wedson Nyirenda says will see him out of action for the next month.

Also dropped is striker Judge Mkandawire and in his place Nyirenda has picked Ignatius Lwipa who has recently returned from a month-long layoff due to injury.

Lwipa scored the equalizer for Zanaco on Saturday in their 1-1 away draw at Red Arrows.

And Makundika Sakala, Zanaco’s top scorer in the Champions League with three goals, is fit and is in the travelling party to face Setif this weekend.

Sakala was injured on Saturday against Arrows after being tackled by Joseph Zimba.

Meanwhile, midfielder George Chilufya (not to be confused the former Nkana defender) who has yet to kick a ball competitively for Zanaco since joining from Nchanga Rangers will miss the trip after only recently recovering from injury.

Chilufya trained with the team at Sunset stadium in Lusaka on the eve of the teams departure for Algeria.

Team:

Goalkeepers: Racha Kola, Joshua Titima

Defenders: Michael Bwalya, Kennedy Nkethani, Mwelwa Sakala, Eugene Shamakamba, Ziyo Tembo, Charles Siyingwa

Midfielders: Trinity Chalanshi, Sydney Kaluwe, Vanecious Mapande, Thomas Nyirenda, Simon Silwamba, Allen Mukuka

  1. Wedson must psyche hiz boiz to win outrightly without conceeding any goal to avoid falling into the away goal rule gymnastix. Out of the 6 gamez played in the FAZ/KCM league so far, ZANACO haz only played 2, becauze FAZ allowed the “to prepare” for the continental gamez. This will definitely have dire consequencez on the local league and indeed ZANACO themselvez.
