Striker Brian Mwila is out of the Tuesday night’s World Cup qualifier against Algeria after he failed to pass a late fitness test.
And coach Wedson Nyirenda has dropped Turkey based midfielder Chisamba Lungu to bench.
Nkwazi striker Justin Shonga replaces Mwila while Zanaco’s Ernest Mbewe gets the nod ahead Chisamba.
There’s also a starting berth for Enock Mwepu in for suspended Fashion Sakala.
It will be traditional 4-4-2 formation.

I expect this to be an open game, ordinary Algeria will up their game in trying to impress their home crowd. While Zambia will be looking at getting maximum points to increase their hopes, defense discipline is as vital as attacking….
Its about preparing mentally and physically to go at the Algerian quick and strong for 90mins.
Good move by Coach and keep it up!
No Mwila? Where will the goals come from? The sight of the numbers peeling of the cheap jerseys, in the last game, made me sick. Zambia is by far the worst kitted team!
All goal threat passes were coming from Chisamba Lungu, I dont understand this move.
