The Bankers will square off with Forest Rangers in the first Super League match as MTN/FAZ Super League resumes on Saturday at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium after a near four months break.
The Zambian elite league was halted by the Country’s football governing body, FAZ back in March due to the wide spread outbreak of the deadly Coronavirus epidemic (Covid-19).
Zanaco boss Chris Kaunda has named a 22-member squad for the clash against Forest Rangers tomorrow and Nkana four days later.
Zimbabwean striker Evans Katema may make his debut for the bankers after he was named in the team for the first time since joining the club back in February. He will however have to fight for a starting berth with the likes of Chitiya Mususu, Moses Phiri , Saith Sakala and club top goalscorer Roger Kola.
Kaunda is spoilt for choice with players like Kiala Lassa, Souleymanou Moussa, Ziyo Tembo, Charles Zulu, Tiberius Lombard , Kelvin Kapumbu and Lawrence Chungu all making the team.
Zanaco will not want to leave any stone unturned in their journey to the Copperbelt in order to increase their chances of finishing in the top four and play continental football next season. The Bankers are unbeaten in the league under Chris Kaunda.
The match will be played behind closed doors but will be live on Supersport and the ZamFoot Crew will carry live updates.
