CHIPOLOPOLO skipper Kabaso Chongo has been chased from the team taking part in the on-going international friendly matches for technical reasons, FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala has said.
Kashala said Chongo who plays for Congolese giants TP Mazembe and captained the Chipolopolo as they recorded a 2-1 defeat to Kenya on Friday would not proceed with the rest of the team to South Africa where they will play Bafana Bafana today.
Kashala said all the parties involved have been informed with Chipolopolo coach Milutin Sredojevic wishing the player all the best in his career.
“FAZ wishes to inform the football family that Chipolopolo skipper Kabaso Chongo has been excused from the on-going international friendly matches for technical reasons.
“We have been informed by the technical bench in Kenya who have furnished us with their reasons. We wish the player all the best in his career and future assignments,” Kashala said in a statement issued by FAZ Communications Manager Sydney Mungala. Kashala confirmed that the team is in good spirits ahead of the high profile game with Bafana Bafana.
He urged the Chipolopolo to soldier on after the 2-1 loss to Kenya on Friday that was part of the preparatory matches for the November back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Botswana.
