Anxiety has gripped Be Forward Wanderers\u2019 camp as the team has left its customary training ground\u2014the Country Club Limbe (CCL)\u2014for Chiwembe Ground.<\/p>\n
Usually, Wanderers train at CCL in the morning before paying way for Tigers in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Now Wanderers\u2019 move to Chiwembe has been read as a tactical withdrawal as the Nomads do not want to share the facility with their Airtel Top 8 Cup quarterfinal opponents, Azam Tigers. Wanderers meet Tigers tomorrow at Balaka Stadium.<\/p>\n
Lack of enough training grounds is a concern in the country.<\/p>\n
Tigers Technical Director, Robin Alufandika, accused Wanderers of following them wherever they train.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have problems to use the same facility because we understand the situation in the country. However, it bothers us that our friends [Wanderers] keep on following us. We always train at Country Club Limbe but they rotate training grounds. Anyway, we will reduce them to their size in the cup,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Team Manager, Steve Madeira, said they shifted the training grounds on their team doctor\u2019s recommendation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team doctor suggested that we should try another venue as the surface at Country Club Limbe is not in a perfect condition. We just want to see if we can avoid injuries during training. Tigers might be afraid that is why they are thinking that we keep on following them. We often rotate training grounds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ironically, Alufandika is a former Wanderers team manager whereas Madeira served in a similar position at Tigers a few years ago.<\/p>\n
Wanderers have been hit by injuries. Most players pick injuries during training. Peter Wadabwa, Wanderers\u2019 new catch from Tigers, Yamikani Chester and Ishmael Thindwa missed the opening weekend of the league due to injuries.<\/p>\n
However, Chester might make his competitive debut against his former side while Wadabwa has started light training. Jabulani Linje and Captain, Francis Mlimbika, who picked minor injuries over the weekend, are also expected back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
