ZAMBIA RECALL SINKALA

ZAMBIA have called up Bayern Munich midfielder Andrew Sinkala for their Castle Cup Southern Africa championship quarter-final against Lesotho on Sunday. The Germany-based star is one of three players from outside the country included in a 22-man squad. Defender Hilary Makasa and striker Dennis Lota line up with South African clubs. Sinkala returns to the national team for the first time since they made an opening-round exit from the African Nations Cup five months ago. A Zambian squad known as Chipolopolo (Copper Bullets) arrived in the tiny mountain kingdom from Dakar, where they held highly-rated Senegal to a couple of goalless draws. The Castle Cup tie offers coach George Mungwa, who replaced Ben Bamfuchile after the continental championship, a final warm-up match before a World Cup qualifier in Angola next weekend.
