Chipolopolo coach Herve Renard has dropped Red Arrows goalkeeper Danny Munyao and three others from the team that will play Namibia in an international friendly on Saturday.
The Frenchman has also axed Zanaco defender Salulani Phiri, Zesco striker Kangwa Chileshe and injured Roderick Kabwe from the Windhoek travelling party.
Munyau had been lining himself up to step up to replace suspended first choice goalie Kennedy Mweene for the June 8 Brazil 2014 World Cup qualifier in Ndola at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.
Goalkeeper coach Davies Phiri had assembled six divers a week before the team camped as he hoped to identify Mweene’s possible heir.
Zambia will face Namibia on Saturday and Renard will name his squad for the two World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Sudan on June 8 and 15 respectively.
The Chipolopolo will enter residential camp on May 28 on the Copperbelt to shape up for Lesotho.

Maybe I should just wait for the Lusaka stadium to be completed, Ndola stadium niyama 1-0 or 0-0 chabe. Or can we take these games to Gabon -Equatorial Guinea where it rained goals??? What happened to our scoring prowess kansi?

This game was supposed to b used to prepare da team for the next to games not to identify talent. Where there is no vision, the team not perform. When is Zambia going to learn the importance of preparatory matches. Most of the players he will name for the world cup are off season now. He could have used them in this match
