Chipolopolo coach Avram Grant summoned Italy based Kingstone Mutandwa and Evans Kangwa (Qingdao Hainiu-China) as replacements for the injured duo of Lameck Banda and Edward Chilufya.
Chilufya limped off the field on Thursday in Midtylland’s 2-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Europa League after hitting the target in the 89th minute.
Lecce’s Banda was conspicuously missing as his side suffered a 1-0 loss away to Udinese in the Italian Serie A.
Following communication from the respective team medics, the duo has been replaced by Kangwa and Mutandwa.
The 26-member provisional squad regroups in Ndola today with the number expected to be trimmed to 23 before the game on Friday.
Zambia hosts Chad in Ndola on Friday at 15:00 hours at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium before heading to Yaoundé for the return leg four days later.
Tickets for Friday’s match are selling across Shoprite outlets via Computicket.
