Nyondo, Msowoya return to Flames squad

The duo have not played for Flames in years now, but their form at club level has caught the eye of Ronny Van Geneugden and his backroom staff ahead of an international friendly match against Lesotho next week at Bingu National Stadium.

Bloemfontein Celtic’s Atusaye Nyondo and Nyasa Big Bullets forward Chiukepo Msowoya have been recalled to the Malawi National Football Team ahead of the friendly match in preparation for the 2019 African Cup of Nations tie against Comoros Island next year.

However, despite calls to have Fischer Kondowe and Esau Kanyenda in the squad, the Belgian tactician has opted to leave out the veterans, with Alfred Manyozo Jnr, Mathew Sibale and Felix Zulu also missing out on the list.

Flames captain Limbikani Mzava and Lusaka Dynamos winger Dalitso Sailesi have returned to the team after missing the previous international friendly match against Tanzania through injuries.

RVG has also recalled Baroka FC forward Robin Ngalande while Be Forward Wanderers’ promising defender Precious Sambani has been given his first senior national team call up.

Meanwhile, Frank Banda and Richard Mbulu are out of the clash due to injuries.
