The Zambia Men’s National Team have intensified preparations for Friday’s Group I Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Burundi with coach George Lwandamina and his technical bench shuffling their cards.
Lwandamina has a full house after all the players called in to replace the injured trio of Patson Daka, Lameck Banda and Gamphani Lungu reported for duty.
Iraq based Prince Mumba (Al Gharraf SC), Edward Chilufya (Hapoel Jerusalem) and Derrick Bulaya (Green Eagles) have all joined camp to complete the pieces in Lwandamina’s puzzle for Friday’s crunch tie against Burundi.
The 30-member team has been going through the paces with the final 26 expected to make the cut.
Zambia hosts Burundi on Friday at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola at 15h00 CAT in a Group I clash.
Algeria tops Group I with four points, one better than Zambia and Togo while Burundi are rooted to the bottom on one point.
Top two teams will qualify to the PAMOJA 2027 AFCON to be hosted by Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania.
