The Chipolopolo Boys are expected to return home this afternoon from East Africa.
The George Lwandamina tutored side will arrive at Simon Mwansa Kampwempwe international Airport around 14:00 hours from Ethiopia where they spent a night after connecting from Khartoum on Thursday.
Buoyed by the 1-0 win over Sudan in the first leg of the Russia 2018 Pre-World Cup qualifier, the Rainford Kalaba captain will be hoping to finish the job on Sunday at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Meanwhile Israeli based striker Evans Kangwa will join the team in Ndola today after connecting from his base.
The former Nkana forward will boaster Lwandamina’s strikeforce that already has Festus Mbewe, Winstone Kalengo and Collins Mbesuma.
Excellent news on Evans. I want to see this boy start because he will be fresher than the other guys. His pace will have Sudan chasing shadows. He should start on the left and Kalaba should be brought central. it may mean one of Mbesuma or Kalengo may have to start on the bench on Sunday to accomodate him.
Exactly
I am expecting Zambia to score not less than 2 goals on Sunday. That old and tired Sudanese team should be taught a footballing lesson!
In as much as Chisamba Lungu may not be happy with the travelling arrangements etc, i expect him to show more patriotism. I am quite disappointed with the young man!
hmmm a baby calling chisamba young man???
I see that you only come on this blog to read my comments. LOL!!!
a win is what we are all expecting
Congratulation George And The Entire Tactical Bench.Zambia Played Well And The Two Wing Backs At Least Concentrated For 90 Minutes.Sunzu,sinkala And Mbesuma Job Well Done.You Brought Alot Of Experience.Come Sunday We Ar Wining.

@Kay Hummer I think we need to hear Chisamba’s side of the story. We can’t start saying he’s being unpatriotic. This is is the first time as far as I can recall that he has failed to make it after a call up. FAZ failed to arrange a visa for one or two players to travel to Sudan and some players could not get there on time. We can’t heap the plane on a player thousands of kilometers away.
This boy has a lot of talent and I feel he brings something different to our team. He’s been a loyal servant. Because of one incidence we calling him unpatriotic.
@Sibs what i read in one of the tabloids was that he was very disappointed/not impressed with the FAZ’s shambolic travel arrangements. We can’t take away the fact that the boy has been a loyal servant. Yes you are right, he brings something different to the team. He is such a breath of fresh air. I am not saying that he is not patriotic, please don’t get me wrong. What i am saying is that he should show more patriotism. The issue here is that he failed to make it for the Sudanese game and will miss the one
Sorry meant to say heap the blame…
Safe trip back home team Chipolopolo. As for kanga walking straight into the starting lineup the Coach will decide. Unless otherwise Mbesuma and Kalen ga may not be easy to remove at the onset. But whoever starts we can only wish our Team all the goals! Shalom
Thats good news, @Kay Hummer may be the tabloid you got the info from should not be trust, am talking about the post news paper, I doubt if it was Daily Nation news paper. Them post want to create enmity between FAZ and the players, just refresh on Katongo’s issue how they reported, by saying he will spin the bean up to now Katongo has not spin the bean.
kalu yo administration is pathetic in terms of organizating,planning i think u lack management and leadership skills,in order to improve chipolopolo’s standard of playing football, its like our traditional standard of playing has gone down ,with out tactics and formation kind of football
Just off topic,am watching the game between S.Africa and Angola this Ethopian ref is so pathetic to say the least that is why Kambwili nearly kicked his a@$$,he is fond of spot kicks.
Ba zamfoot, hv the boys arrived in ndola?
ZNBC radio news reported that the two teams Z & S arrived yesterday at 1500hrs. Viva Zambia, we are Chipolopolo! Shalom
@Kay Hummer I hear you bro.
