The Fa confirmed the development on their official Facebook page some few hours ago.

“Striker Chiukepo Msowoya has left camp after being ruled out of action for a minimum period of four weeks to enable him recover from a hamstring injury he suffered while on club duty for Big Bullets in a Super League match on Sunday. We wish hum a speedy recovery,” said the association on their Facebook page.

The latest injury is a blow to Malawi super league holder who were told on Monday that their first choice goalkeeper Owen Chaima will be sidelined for up to six weeks after sustaining a shoulder injury in the same league match.

Msowoya is likely to miss Bullets’s Standard Bank Knockout Cup action against Moyale Barracks on Sunday at Civo Stadium and a Blantyre derby next month.

He is also likely to miss Flames trip to Tanzania on 4 October as well as the return leg on 11 October.
