Nyasa Big Bullets defender Precious Sambani and Georgia based midfielder Francisco Madinga have been ruled out of next week’s Flames international friendly match against Tanzania .

Sambani suffered a knee injury in Bullets’ Super League encounter against Ekwendeni Hammers on Saturday while Madinga will not be able to travel out of Georgia due to the country’s COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Flames coach Meck Mwase has since called Hammers defender Eric Kaonga and Be Forward Wanderers midfielder Vitumbiko Kumwenda to replace Sambani and Madinga respectively.
