COACH TRIMS LOCAL TEAM
Chipolopolo coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has trimmed his number of local players after having conducted an assessment of 131 players across the country.
Micho has reduced the number to 71, segmented as 36 from the camp hosted in Ndola that covered Copperbelt, Central and North Western provinces with 35 from Lusaka, Southern, Western, Northern, Eastern and Muchinga.
The technical bench will run the rule on the 35 players that camped in Lusaka at National Heroes Stadium on Monday (February 24) to get the final 20 that will be part of the provisional 40 players in the national team.
Micho will shift his duties to the Copperbelt on Tuesday to have one final look at 36 selected players from the Super League and National Division One before picking his best performers.
The list comprises a list of regulars and first timers with some under-17 players like Miguel Chaiwa and Rickson Ng’ambi making the cut while under-20 stars Jonathan Munalula and Patrick Gondwe are also part of the selected players.
Only Zanaco players have been exempted from the screening process as they have had a tough calendar that includes a run in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Micho will keep an eye on Zanaco players as they compete in the Confederation Cup and also local league.
