Power Dynamos have said they are cautious over registering controversial striker Francis Kombe for their 2012 CAF Champions League due to his involvement in a match fixing scandal in Finland earlier this year.
Kombe, who is currently training at Power, was among seven Zambian players who received suspended sentences in July, ranging from six months to 20 months for a match-fixing case.
Kombe, Godfrey Chabinga, Chileshe Chibwe, Stephen Kunda, Christopher Musonda, Chanda Mwaba and Nchimunya Mweetwa, who were playing for Rovaniemi Palloseura (ROPs), were sentenced along with their two Georgian team-mates.
Speaking to LT Sports in Kitwe, Power secretary Justin Kapoma said they were consulting with FAZ on the fate of the former Chipolopolo Striker before deciding to registering him.
“On Kombe, until we get a go-head from FAZ, we won’t register him (Kombe).
That issue (sentence over match fixing) is still outstanding, so we are waiting for a confirmation from FAZ,” he said.
Kapoma, however, said Power plans reinforce their squad and have identified some players from local clubs.
“Yes, we are trying to reinforce certain areas but at this point I can’t give you the names because we have not yet discussed with the teams where we intend to acquire the players,” he added.
