Dario Bonetti has dropped Felix Katongo and recalled Jacob Mulenga for the 2012 Africa Cup Group C away qualifier against Comoros on September 4.
Mulenga returns to the team for the first time since October following his recent recovery from a long-term injury that has seen him score three goals in two league games for hid Dutch side FC Utrecht.
Felix on the other hand has paid the price of virtually being clubless since May being after a brief spell at Green Buffaloes that he followed up with trials in Egypt and Israel.
Bonetti has also resisted to call-up midfielder Andrew Sinkala of Augsburg in Germany.
Meanwhile, the team regroups on Sunday with the 18 foreign-based call-ups expected to starting arriving in camp on Sunday joining the six home-based players who survived week one of training camp in Lusaka.
