Sangala, Wadabwa jet in
Angola-based sweeper James ‘Shareholder’ Sangala and Peter Wadabwa, who plays in South Africa, arrived in the country on Saturday as the Flames engaged an extra gear in preparation for Wednesday’s 2014 crucial World Cup qualifier against Namibia’s Brave Warriors.
Only Mozambique-based captain Joseph ‘Shakira’ Kamwendo is yet to arrive due to club commitments and he is only expected to arrive on Monday.
FAM commercial and public relations manager Casper Jangale confirmed the duo’s arrival.
“Save for Joseph who is expected in the country on Monday, the rest of the foreign contingent is now in,” said Jangale.
The arrival of Sangala and Wadabwa has increased the number of foreign-based players to 10. Others are Moses Chavula, Limbikani Mzava, Harry Nyirenda, Robert Ng’ambi, Esau Kanyenda, Robin Ngalande, Atusaye Nyondo and Chiukepo Msowoya.
Meanwhile, roving winger Ndaziona Chatsalira has been ruled out after sustaining an ankle injury.
Six others—Sankhani Mkandawire, George Nyirenda, Victor Limbani, Patrick Gunde, Rodrick Gonani and Joel Chopfya—were dropped from the squad on Friday in order to maintain the required figure of players in camp which is 25.
