You have a point BUT those young players need experience of international football. European clubs would not take row players playing inferior games. Zambia itself must consider buying players from other countries to boast local palyers. Remember Chola & Kaumba played for a number of years in Ivory Coast. Young and talented players emerge from this country out of learning good footballing tactics from outsiders. I wonder how the coach can put an injured player on waiting list. where are the physical fit players???

No 1:Emmanuel is banned by CAF and thus is not avaliable for selection.

Kennedy Mweene is a suspect in goalkeeping, Mbesuma is finished. I like the defense, Midfield and the likely combination of Mayuka, Kola or Kangwa upfront!
