Zesco United coach Fighton Simukonda got a major boost yesterday after defender Billy Mwanza and striker Chakwa Lungu returned to full and light training respectively ahead of Saturday’s crucial CAF Orange Champions League first round, first leg tie against Young Buffaloes of Swaziland.
Meanwhile, Swaziland champions, Young Buffaloes yesterday embarked on a grueling journey of more than 1,700 kilometres to Ndola by road for this weekend’s encounter against the Zambian champions.
Zesco secretary Justin Mumba said in Ndola yesterday that Simukonda’s charges got a boost when their defence king pin, Mwanza returned to full training after shaking off the injury he picked from the Charity Shield final against Nkana.
Mumba said Zesco were hopeful Mwanza would be fit for the Saturday showdown set for Trade Fair ground in Ndola and said striker Chakwa Lungu, who is on the injury list, resumed light training and the coaches were keeping their fingers crossed ahead of the weekend assignment.
