Russian based playmaker Chisamba Lungu is out of the Russia 2018 back to back World Cup qualifier against due to ‘private reasons’, Zambianfootball.co.zm can exclusively reveal.
The 24 year will not be part of the European based stars.
Israeli based striker Evans Kangwa arrived in Khartoum at 11:30 local time while Armenian based Lubambo Musonda is airborne enroute to Khartoum and will arrive there immediately after midnight. The same applies for French based defender Stopilla Sunzu.
Meanwhile the national tean which arrived from Angola on Sunday is expected to leave for Sudan tonight.
The game will be played on Wednesday in a town 400 km away from Khartoum.
Once they arrive in Khartoum, they are expected to take a bus drive .
On Sunday, Zambia will host Sudan in the return leg at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Poor travelling arrangements already. We expected them to fly directly fro Angola. Hope Chisamba is not protesting
Seems like Jacob n Chisamba have issues with our technical bench. What a loss!!
more reason y Kalaba should be used in the mid of the park and not in the Wing.At Tp is not been used in the wing
PATHETIC Chicken George has to find a replacement ASAP!
George is a big quack! He is not taking us anywhere. Fwayo, kola, kabaso, singuluma,mayuka, mbola etc are all serious guys who must be in the team. Only Mayuka is recovering from the injury the rest are fit to play so why is he being silly? If we go passed Sudan this guy should not be allowed to continue work.
Are We Ever Going To Play A Game Without Having Any Last Minute Logistical Problems ??????????? Same Stories Everytime …….. Are We That Thick Skulled That Things Can’t Sink In En Learn From Past Mistakes ???????????? It Will Be a Miracle For Zambia To Escape Defeat In Sudan …… Remember the 3 nil bashing In 2012 ?????????? Same Result I see Happening Again Only This Time There won’t be any reversal of Points ………. *Taps Chest Twice* *Makes A Peace Sign* #Chipolopolo4Life Hope We Win Still
USELESS Chicken George has to find a replacement ASAP!
Chicken George has to find a replacement ASAP!
No time for the teams to gel together. Must foreign players will be release today and they must make it to camp today or tomorrow for a match coming up on wednesday. The timing is too short and it does not affect zambians alone. It is the same everywhere, fifa calender.
It wldnt affect Sudan because all their players are home based and these fellas loves to beat foreign team in hot Khartoum!
Sudan is a serious threat to any team esp in Khartoum and when they turned up esp with their massive support, they can make any team hot!!
The other psychological element that can BEAT SUDAN IS THAT, U MAKE THEM FEAR U RIGHT FROM THE ONSET by the form or name of your players which makes them panic but looking at this Zambia squad, they don’t have the name to make them not to attack them right from the start and when Sudan get it right from the blast of the whistle, they never stopped till they found the back of the net!!
There is also some sort of issues btn Sudan and Zambia due to the 2014 FIFA point deductions against them which was filed by Zambia and they singlely BLOCKED ZAMBIA from qualifying to the WC by their massive draw in Ndola and I know they ll put in an extra effort to beat Zambia again though zbia shld not be underrated!!
Hmmm, i don’t think it is even worth commenting on Zambian football anymore. There is no focus. Things are deteriorating so quickly. This is sad.
Spot on idi amin……… Sudan players are selected locally so no travelling problem for them.
2014 world cup rivalry between the two teams is still there, and wednesday game will reopen the rivalry. Zambia may just pull up a big surprise when they visit khartoum which will really be great for their world cup qualifier progress. Go Zambia.
Kalu get us a new coach.
It is not zambia alone this fifa calendar thing and poor travel arrangement is global even in Nigeria and ghana they are having it…ki kikikikiki
chisamba is protesting bcoz lwandamina he dont give him 90mnts to play. thanks chisamba lets play for Fc Ural who gives u 90 mnts to play, coz this useless coach want to finish u.
u think u can make yo own payers like chepeshi, mkandawire, chirwa,& katema? useless coach u just want to frastrate players who can bring gud results for zambia. last time it was jacob mulenga & this time it chisamba u just want to finish our football stupid coach.
Chisamba has never scored for Zambia if you must know! Also know that he makes alot of mistakes in dangerous area that cost us greatly. Analyze objectively . Chasamba is good yes but needs to be cautioned on holding the ball too much and making mistakes
we are in trable with this useless coach. remember mweene & katebe there are not enjoying their game time in their clubs only sunzu hv a game time in france.
Chisamba out, its nt thingz. Bt we can stil beat sudan
Don’t lose hope
we wil be beaten in sudan mark my words in red.
this is de weakest team we hv send in sudan & if sudan fails to beat this weak team then their a weak team also. coz teams like Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, CIV, Algeria, Mali Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Its a walk over.
dont worry as long us we are playing zenit this weekend in Russian premier ligue it wil be another 90mnts for u. Wishng u all de best Chisambadinho!
We can beat Sudan if only he does not use those young full backs which will be very unlikely because those are the ones hes got,just hoping for less damage so that return we finish the job.
Without Chisamba Muhammed Bashir & Mudathir Eitayib they wil take control of our weak midfield & up front we wil be in trable with Sara Ibrahin & Alaadine Yousuf.
Truth be told, Angola 4 nations tourney was a bad idea. This is why the logistical issues are happening. Rather be in Sudan with enough time to prepare for a world cup qualifier than take the national team last minute to a tournament that means nothing.
This is what happens when you have a coach with basically no control or guts to say no. If you recall back in 1998, Buckhard Ziese refused to take the national team for some tournament in the middle east and opted to keep the team in Burkina Faso 2 weeks prior to kickoff and in the opening game against Morocco the team energy and stamina was unbelievable it ended 1-1. Sadly the tournament ended on a very sour note, but these travelling arrangements have been our undoing.
Agree with you. The Angola outing was an absolutely useless idea that served no purpose. Our FA lacks focus. The word priorities does not exist in their vocabulary. As long as the coach is just serving in an acting capacity he will have no control of the team. It’s a sad situation.
This game it wil be crucial 4 us to win bcoz even de Sudanese they know that they hv to win at their home ground & finish de job in Ndola for them to go through to de next stage.
No free points this time!
it wil be half ground play in fever of the Sudanese this time
Abram be objective my friend. I want to see your comment after the game. Give the team a chance please!
Sunzu should also not come due to private reasons,cos this chicken is dull.
On a serious Note Lwandamina should immediately drop the U23 full backs, then recall Fackson Kampumbu and or Kabaso chongo
Disaster results awaits for us as usual because of pathetic Kalu’s leadership. Why is the team coming to Zambia after Angola? The players will be tired by the time its time to play in Sudan. We are losing this game and the usual excuses will be told. Kalu must go.
Zambia is bigger than Chisamba Lungu. We will use Lubambo.
Nice one! the only positive comment i have seen here! Aba eba example ba ba Zambian supporter ba chine!! ebo tufwaya!!
Lets support our national team, last time we lost to Sudan our players were still celebrating the Afcon triumph. Go Go Zambia!
That’s a flimsy excuse boss. Let’s support our team yes, but not blindly
Na aba……….maybe there’s still those of us who still believe in Zambia and not a single player…..meanwhile….NDELOLESHAFYE….
And when we point out some of these admin weaknesses of faz, ati you are just jelous. king kalu knows it all. You st.pi.d kalu worshipers..
@Banda this fifa calender issue plus traveling will have reduced negative effect on Nigeria team preparation.
We’ll play swaziland on friday 13th of November enough time to sort things out.
Monday to wednesday is too short to sort things especially when you have to travel 2 days or a day to match against a team dat selects 90% of its squad locally.
This is how you lose a match….Zambia struggles to win away from home and such travel arrangements only make matters worse….And I think mbola and kabaso chongo are better than chepeshi and mkandawire,this is a serious match,we needed strong wingbacks.
Read wat zamfoot has posted.400km from khartoum is wat you should be concerned about not george chicken lwandamina.its like this site now everyone is an expert and can come up with their own lineup.contribute positively guys,not arguing all the time.
Nice one Juma. Alot of Jokers here. Always looking for something negative!
Those blaming Chicken shud think again because
1. chicken did not make himself a national team coach.
2. he is being told names of players to select
so if we are to blame someone, lets blame faz for hand picking a useless coach rather than blaming the useless coach himself
400Km really, 4 hours by bus? How can Caf and FIFA allow this? I thought venues must be easily accessible? Its like playing in Luangwa
Butiii?
FAZ needs someone who’s sole purpose in life is logistics
Let’s wait 4 de 90mins y do u like bla bla bla on this site leav the job to them their mandated to that
dont conderm chicken lwandamina.travellin arrangement vy bad.y travellin by bus 400km 4rm khartoum dat is de journey almost lsk to katete.yyyyyyyy
We not winning this game. Forget winning under this useless coach
We are wining this game by a goal come Wednesday the boy Luchanga will do it, I can’t wait to finish off the match at Levy and then meet Ghana. Ghana can butcher us with a cricket scoreline with this hand picking of players by FAZ. Please FIFA give us Ghana or any West or North African team to expose us we are still hiding. Go Zambia go
Zambia like Sudan can also win this match. Viva our great team amidst the hard moments. Shalom
We will win as long as in defence we use choongo, Sunzu, katebe or munthali, mbola.MID Sinkala, donashano,kalaba,lubambo,STRIKERS Mbesuma,kalengo/KANGWA.SUBs- luchana,sautu, Chirwa, mfune,singuluma

Truth be told! in as much a glass is half empty, a person who sees is as half full will live longer than the other!
See you in Ndola on Sunday as we finish off abalungwana. G’nite all you positive thinking friends.
Good selection of players must not just have a strong starting XI but must good options on the bench. From the players in camp we don’t have an alternative on position 3 only Boyd and if he is injured, we can only use a makeshift left back. In midfield if we start with Sinkala, Kalaba, Lubambo and Mwape Mwelwa, we will have no game changer to come off the bench. Inthe striking department we can start with the tried combination of Kalengoal and King David and then have options of speedy and tricky Evans Kangwa and Youngster Conlyde Luchanga. If we can put our cards right, we can pull a surprise in Sudan but it’ll all depend on the tactics by the coach. We can use Kalaba in attacking midfield role and throw Lubambo and Mwelwa in the wings who both can also play in attacking midfield role should the coach decide to play Kalaba in the wings but I’d prefer we play Kalaba in the free role to help in defending and attacking.
Sudan is not guaranteed a win.
The only thing as we foolishly experienced last time is to go to the pitch wen its hot in the name of acclimatization. That’s what led to our loss. The journalists who went there confirmed that Zambian players were already drained before the match started for over warming up.
I have also been insisting that these clowns need to employ a logistics officer.
Travel arrangements usually cost us away matches. For the first 60minutes we shouldn’t allow a goal but score. That will force them to open up further.
LWANDAMINA SHUD CALL FWAYO TO REPLACE CHISAMBA
