Micho Summons Deadly Squad For Cosafa Encounter

Kennedy Mweene

Chipolopolo coach Milutin Sredojevic has summoned a deadly squad for the Cosafa tournament which kicks off next month.

The gaffer has recalled experienced and long time Chipolopolo goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene to the squad alongside hard core Zesco United defender Simon Silwimba.

The Serbian Wolf has also enloped Power Dynamos’ Zachariah Chilongoshi and Napsa Stars wonderkid Jimmy Mukeya who has had an impressive season.

The rest of the squad comprises most of the players that the Serb has had under his watch in his mission to reboot the Chipolopolo.

Zambia will begin its title defence at the 20th edition of the COSAFA Cup in Port Elizabeth on July 7, 2021 against Comoros with a clash against Madagascar three days later. The final group B match will be against Malawi on July 13.
