Zambian players abroad have continued to shine at their respective clubs.
Fashion Sakala Jnr scored his first career hat-trick on Sunday, Enock Mwepu scored a beauty of a goal at Anfield against his childhood club Liverpool. Evans Kangwa was on target despite his team losing while Emmanuel Banda scored the only goal of the game in Sweden.
In Austria, Striker Francisco Mwepu is out nursing an injury. He had surgery on his knee last week hence missed SK Sturm Graz’s 3-0 bashing at the hands of Wolfsberger AC.
