“But four will have their last competitive assignments at their clubs this weekend when that is in question we will try and get them to play in the friendly’s against Uganda Mali or Ethiopia not all the games but at least one so that it can help us prepare competitively against Botswana.”


Micho led the Chipolopolo in his first assignment at the helm of Zambia in an international friendly match against the Flames of Malawi at Nkoloma Stadium in which Zambia won by a goal to nil courtesy of Collins Sikombe.

Micho has been keeping an eye on the CHAN and Africa Cup of Nations qualification in his preparation and will gave local players an opportunity to impress before he picks his final team that heads to Uganda for the Three-Nation Tournament.
