Both Chilufya and Banda will be looking to make their UEFA Champions League debut. Djurgadens will be away to Ferencvaros on 18 or 19 August.
Should they manage to progress they will face either Scottish giants Celtic or Reykjavik who are waiting in the second qualifying round.
Emmanuel Banda has slowly been making his way into the starting line up and has featured in the last five games including starting the last two matches. The firmer Nchanga Rangers midfield ace provided the assist for Djurgadens first goal in their 2-1 win over Mjällby on Wednesday.
Edward Chilufya on the other hand has to shake off an injury that has seen in him on the sidelines for the last six weeks.
Congrats to the boys! Great to see Banda chip in an assist yesterday! What’s the update on Chilufya’s injury? How serious? When is expected to return?
According to the coach very soon. We will find out tomorrow how soon
