Mutondo Stars winger Jackson Kampamba and NAPSA Stars midfielder Rally Bwalya have been handed late call ups and since joined the Chipolopolo Boys squad in Ndola.
The duo replaced Lameck Banda and Joshua ‘Budo’ Mutale who have been ruled out of the two Group G matches against Cote d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone due to injuries.
Banda who is carrying a niggling injury travelled to Ndola with the medics confirming that he was not fully recovered to participate in the two matches while Mutale limped off training on Monday.
