Beaumelle Hope Kalaba’s Injury Is Not Fatal
The national team technical bench says it is hoping the the reported injury of Chipolopolo midfielder Rainford Kalaba is not serious enough to rule him out of the June 8 and 15 World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Sudan respectively.
National team assistant coach Patrice Beaumelle said Kalaba was a very important player and the team was hoping it was a serious injury.
“Of course we are hoping that Kalaba’s injury is not serious you know the importance of Rainford Kalaba in the team,” he said.
“So we will make sure that the injury is not too much to affect himself and the squad as well.”
Beaumelle said they would wait for the medics to offer a diagnosis.
“…but we just have to wait to have a diagnosis from the doctor to know what is the situation,” he said.
Kalaba has sat out of the last three TP Mazembe fixtures after sustaining a calf injury in a match against Sanga Balende.
The Zambian bench will have to wait to hear from their TP Mazembe counterparts on the seriousness of the injury as Zambia shapes up for the Brazil 2014 World Cup fixtures lined up next month.

I agree with you, there is just too much reliance on some of these boz. We clearly lack a proper pool of players, we cant take risks anymore. I must believe slowly the zeal to qualify is waening down due to these injuries and suspensions of players. Until then we shall hold ourselves prisoners on ill planned direction

I wish we qualify this ROUND and they match us against BAFANA BAFANA.
WE need to shut them up. They say they have been to the world cup and we have lamentably failed.
We are Useless Former Champions of Africa that only reined for 12 Months ONLY.
We were Kinds that never ruled, like King Blowtop Mwanza the former Boxer in Zambia.
