COVID RULES OUT F. SAKALA

The Scotland-based striker Fashion Sakala has been ruled out of the international friendly matches lined up during the FIFA window after testing positive for Covid-19.

Sakala who is on the books of Glasgow Rangers was part of the 23 member squad named by Chipolopolo coach Aljosa Asanovic for Friday’s match against Congo Brazzaville will be in quarantine for seven days.

FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala says the Association has written to Glasgow Rangers on the players’ status and was awaiting formal correspondence.

Sakala was scheduled to travel directly to Antalya for the Chipolopolo outing but has since been ruled after the Covid-19 results came out positive.

The Chipolopolo boys will leave for Turkey on Wednesday where they will link up with their Europe-based counterparts and Aime Mabika who plies his trade for inter-Miami in the MLS.
