Be Forward Wanderers top striker, Peter Wadabwa, has returned to training after being sidelined by a leg injury.<\/p>\n
Wadabwa\u2019s return has given the Yasin Osman-led coaching panel a selection headache ahead of Sunday\u2019s Airtel Top 8 Cup clash against Azam Tigers at Balaka Stadium.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Team Manager, Steve Madeira, Thursday said Wadabwa\u2019s return was a morale booster.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have good strikers such as Khumbo Ng\u2019ambi and Julius Kajembe. Now, it is difficult for the coach to identify strikers for the match. Otherwise, preparations are going on well and we are very ready to face the Tigers. Meanwhile, Yamikani Chester has also resumed training,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
However, another Wanderers striker Ishmael Thindwa is undergoing physiotherapy after getting injured while playing for the Flames.<\/p>\n
In the other camp, Tigers Coach, Patrick Kulemeka, has said his charges were not moved by the happenings in Wanderers\u2019 camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are playing against a side that we know. Yes, we may be playing as underdogs, but anything can happen in football. Football is not about who is playing or not. It is about tactics displayed on the field of play on that particular day,\u201d Kulemeka said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first leg and our aim is to do better so that when we play at home team in the second leg, we should have an upper hand. I have a good crop of players capable of performing wonders.\u201d<\/p>\n
The quarterfinal games will kick off this weekend with Silver Strikers hosting Nyasa Big Bullets at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
