Injury blow for Zambia

South African-based striker Brian Mwila will miss Zambia’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Nigeria on Saturday due to a recurring injury.
Media reports in the country reveal that the striker will not face the Super Eagles in their penultimate Group B qualifier away.
The Chipolopolo striker netted a brace in their 3-1 win over the Desert Warriors of Algeria at Heroes Stadium on September 2 where he sustained the same injury.
According to the team doctor George Magwende, Belgium-based Emmanuel Banda had also been ruled out due to injury.
“Brian (Mwila) will not be part of the team as he had a recurrence of the injury he suffered during the Algeria game. It is best to give him time to fully recover,” Magwende said to FAZFootball.
