Chipolopolo coach Sven Vandenbroeck has commenced preparations for the November 17 Africa Cup of Nations crunch match against Mozambique, with 25 local players assembling in Lusaka.
Vandenbroeck led the 23 infield players through the paces yestrlerday at the Futsal Arena with an interesting blend of call ups.
The technical bench led the lads through an intense physical session while the goalkeepers trained elsewhere under the watch of goalkeeper coach Stephen Mwansa.
Vandenbroeck will run the local players through the mill before naming his final squad at the end of the week when camp shifts to South Africa.
The foreign based players will join directly in South Africa where the team will be holed up before heading to Maputo for the Group K Africa Cup of Nations tie.
