Chipolopolo captain Stoppila Sunzu is missing from the national team that is currently training at Sunset stadium this morning.
A check by the ZamFoot Crew at national team training base reviewed that all players summoned to camp were in full swing training but the towering defender was conspicuously missing.
Zambianfootball.co.zm understands that the Sochaux towering defender who limped off in his club’s last league game is out of the clash against Mozambique.
More details on Sunzu to follow……
Full Team in Camp
Goalkeepers: Kennedy Mweene, Danny Munyao, Toaster Nsabata
Defenders: Donashano Malama, Emmanuel Mbola, Nyambe Mulenga, Kabaso Chongo, Davies Nkausu, Aaron Katebe, Christopher Munthali
Midfielders: Nathan Sinkala, Chisamba Lungu, Rainford Kalaba, Bruce Musakanya, Lubambo Musonda, Roderick Kabwe, Charles Zulu, Spencer Sautu, Shadreck Malambo, Changwe Kalale
Strikers: Emmanuel Mayuka, Ronald Kampamba, James Chamanga, Given Singuluma, Patrick Ngoma, Evans Kangwa
It is a sad but understandable situation. If he is not fit then don’t use him.
Use the Nkana defence that played and drew with the Arabs.
Any defence that can withstand onslaught yama Arabs, can withstand any attack.
Chabipa but we can’t put all our eggs in one basket.
Too bad for Sunzu. However we have got enough cover at the back. All the best Sunzu, all the best Chipolopolo.
Whats wrong with our defender?we dont want to lose ths game plese.
Sad development. Mweene has just recovered (not fully), No defence pillar in Sunzu and missing CK11 game charger + team spirit. We shoul pack the midfield and play like Barcelona.
Yeah but its no big deal we still have a capable defence that can contain the Mambas only that in Sunzu we trust!
Looking at the pace of mozambique,i would suggest that we partner nyambe mulenga with nkausu in central defence if his form/fitness is ok.malama or can cover the right back spot so that malama holds the midfield with sinkala.muntali is too slow for mozambique
Meant to say malama or kabaso chongo
set back but also am opportunity for others like katebe to win over regular place like nyambe has done.
Uganda coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has warned his team of a difficult Ghana on Saturday.
The two sides face off this weekend in an epic clash at the Namboole Stadium in Kampala. The Serbian trainer who masterminded the Cranes one all draw with the Black Stars in Kumasi in September has attempted to tone down the country’s high expectations.
“Ghana is not the team you can threaten. In recent years travelling across Africa they (Ghana) have only lost once by accident to Zambia. We are playing a great team, one of the greatest African teams but we will give our best.”
Mr coach (Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic ) let me correct you here, Ghana’s loss to Zambia was not by accident but it was FARE AND SQUARE.
Will miss him but Zambia will collect maximum points come Saturday. Go Chipolopolo Go, we have gud defenders to replace him
Sunzu can’t be replaced..he has left a big gap coz of injury. Very worrying.
This delusional lot is at it again praising mediocrity, everybody knows outside Zambia this sunzu guy is just an average player who failed to secure a contract in French top division.
the same average player that has made yo super strikers look like amature players each time we have played each other.
Ghanaians have started again. Uganda coach is just giving them fake hope, he knows that even Renard tipped Ghana to win 2012 afcon at the time they where facing Zambia in the semi-finals. Alas what happened? Renard roast ghana and went on lifting the trophy.
This coach is also using HR’s tactics but at the end of the day Ghana will suffer a 4 nil defeat in Kampala.
Partnering Nyambe and Nkausu in central defence would be suicide. They are both prone to mistiming challenges and causing fouls. All the penalties Zambia has conceded in competitive matches over the past 3 years have come from the two. Let them play on the fullback positions and them out of the 18 yard area as much as possible.
lol sunzu dat dude complete waste
uganda couch he as to find the beter way of warning hes players not wat his producing from his mouth!!! mr couch ar u sure it was by accident at afcon aswel as world cup qualifying in law to win yo so called Ghana?? ar dreaming sir? .
Ghana loses to some better teams but to others like somalia,Djibouti,zambia ,chad etc,its always by accident.well well well!
