Chipolopolo Boys coach Sven Vandenbroeck has named his squad to face Guinea Bissau for next week’s back to back African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Supersport United ‘s Gamphani Lungu has been dropped due to lack of game of time at his club.
Nkwazi goalkeeper Charles Mutanga has replaced Power Dynamos’ Lawrence Mulenga while Zesco United left back Fackson Kapumbu has made a return to the squad.

Three days later, Guinea Bissau will host Zambia on match day 4.

It is pretty the same squad which i think can deliver if the coach plays his cards right. The coach must not make the mistake of leaving Mwepu on the bench like before.
Let’s go chipolopolo
Its our time to shine let’s go Zambia
Ndeloleshafye.
football needs lucky sometimes.how many times did chipolopolo hit the wood work.
Hahahahahaha, that’s funny. How many times goalkeeper missed ball without catching it, the ball can be lucky too.
LUCK ALSO COUNTS. BUT IF YOU HAVE NO LUCK CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK BY CREATING MORE SCORING CHANCES AND LAYING THE BALL FOR OTHERS TO SCORE
Which Emmanuel Banda has returned to the squad?? What a miss! there is no Emmanuel Banda in the squad……please revisit the released list.
It’s ok, Emmanuel may not even play. There are 8 midfielders.
Infact Sven should just play with 2 defenders, Kabaso na Sunzu.
Were is kaseba from green Eagle’s
I expected Nathan Sinkala and Kalaba to be dropped for younger players! What’s strong about a team that failed to bit small team Namibia! What is attractive about Fashion Sakala, if he knows no team work like Lionel Messi!
the coach should play the winning squad he used in a friendly game against Gabon. dont feature Sunzu, Kalaba or Sinkala. the loosing trio are slow and have no fighting spirit.
The coach has called people who can make it up, but let him not use kalaba as number ten,l et kalaba play number eleven with fashion on the bench, then shonga number ten with daka 9,lubambo on the right wing, mwepu and sinkala as middle,on the bench kambole as number ten, Zambia will make it again, go Zambia go!!!!!
All the best guys.
Bola Na Mwepu Go Zambia Go Mweeepuuuuu It,s Goooooooooo
Striking force is neded,we nid more goes.Go zambia goooooo!
Pliz pliz don’t put fashion sakala pa bench as a super sub.sunzu,kabaso chonho,shamujompa,kalaba,shonga,mwepu, and other players all the best go Zambia go. We see you my heroes in Wednesday. can’t wait…….
