Seven Call-ups Hit Nkana’s Plans
Nkana coach Masauso Mwale admits losing seven players to Zambia trials will hurt their plans for Saturday’s trip to Lime Hotspurs.
The seven will be among 162 players who will be in Lusaka from Monday until April 26 attending Herve Renard’s selection trials for Zambia’s 2014 CHAN qualifiers and hosting of the 2013 Cosafa Cup in July.
The players left for Lusaka on Monday afternoon after taking part in morning training in Kitwe with Nkana earlier on in the day.
“It will (affect us) but I only hope that where they are going, they will get playing time at the trials and that the programme there will be such that they will be working,” Mwale told MTNFootball.com.
Most importantly for Mwale will be the absence for the rest of this week of his main strikers Reynold Kampamba and Festus Mbewe who have each scored three goals for Nkana this season.
Also missing will be midfielder Sydney Kalume who has been Nkana’s architect of their current good start this season in which they remain unbeaten with four wins and a draw.
Meanwhile, Nkana heads into this weekend leading the MTN/FAZ Super Division table on 13 points, two more than second placed and fellow unbeaten side Konkola Blades.
