Chama joins camp, Mukeya, Chisala, and Bulaya replaces England based duo ahead of Tunisia clash

The Chipolopolo Boys will be without skipper Enock Mwepu and striker Patson Daka when they take on Tunisia tomorrow in a World Cup qualifier.

Head Coach Beston Chambeshi has summoned Nkana midfielder Harrison Chisala, NAPSA Stars forward Jimmy Mukeya, and Red Arrows winger Felix Bulaya as replacements for the two English Premier League stars.

Meanwhile, midfielder Clatous Chota Chama who missed the 2-1 win over Mauritania joined the camp in the evening to complete the Copper Bullets squad ahead of the crunchy encounter against the Carthage Eagles.

The Copper Bullets also got down to work after arriving from Mauritania and had their first training session at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Beston Chambeshi and Technical Advisor Aljosa Asanovic led the team through a feel of the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium which will host Tuesday’s Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Zambia and Tunisia.

The team then underwent Covid-19 testing as part of the mandatory pre-match formalities. The Chipolopolo were swabbed after their afternoon training session at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Zambia plays Tunisia on Tuesday at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola at 15:00 hours with only 5, 000 fans allowed for the match due to Covid-19 regulations by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

  1. I don’t understand is zambia lacking players why local????..

    It was better they called Emmanuel banda,klings kangwa,lameck banda and chanka zimba n all the others playing abroad …not these chipante chipante

  2. This is pure rebuilding. They should just tell the entire nation that they embarked in a serious rebuilding to avoid unnecessary insults. Then qualifying to the world cup its a bonus.

  3. I personally have faith in you and your team selection, but boyd musonda and Prince Mumba even though he did found the back of net was not upto the task and not played to expectations as both became shadows of themselves in the second half. Let Spencer and kampamba start ahead of the duo. And please advise rodrick kabwe to up the game,he was the reason MTN pull one. He actually a very good player.

    Tunisia is beatable Zambia 2 Tunisia 1

  4. @frog true…faz needs change at the top with kamanga out..since his coming we have seen local players n mediocre coaches with temporary local coaches who are coaching local teams…his pocketing on marketing players for tp mazembe South Africa and Tanzanian clubs making money on commissions and less expenses on coaches so he may po ket the rest…we need a footballer to football not a business person..bring bck kalu who gave us an Africa cup…

    An u20 Africa cup and world cup team which was not u20 with many who participated in the zone six u20 games in 2012 including mangani banda,boyd mkandawire can not be called an achievement but a big lie and deceive…

  5. Animal farm in kamanga administration.I don’t understand why call Boyd musonda ,prince Mumba , Solomon sakala.you leave salulani phiri, Evans kangwa , Emmanuel Banda and Frankie musonda .Then tandi mwape and KM kampamba pa bench
