By Chansa Kunda
Chipolopolo Coach AVRAM GRANT has named a 26 member Provisional Squad for the upcoming back to back 2025 AFCON Qualifiers fixture against Chad with striker FASHION SAKALA missing on the list.
And making his way back to the Squad is Defender FRANKIE MUSONDA, who was sidelined due to Injury.
Others who have been handed a call up to the National team are Defender PETER KALOTA from Red Arrows, and NAPSA Stars’ DAVID BULAYA and striker JIMMY MUKEYA.
Speaking when unveiling the Squad this morning Chipolopolo Coach AVRAM GRANT said all the players that have been given a call up deserve to be in the squad and that anyone who shows indiscipline will be left out.
GRANT said the target is to win both games against Chad and qualify for the 2025 Morocco AFCON tournament.
He said the team will not underrate their opponents despite being the better side on paper.
The Chipolopolo tutor further said he is happy with the balance of the mature and young players in his team.
ZAMBIA will host Chad on October 11, 2024 at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in the first leg with the second leg scheduled for October 15th 2024.
