Football Association of Malawi (Fam) is unsure of the availability of Zambia-based attacking midfielder Dalitso Sailesi for Saturday\u2019s friendly match against Tanzania.<\/p>\n
Fam General Secretary, Alfred Gunda, Tuesday said Sailesi\u2019s club, Lusaka Dynamos, were facing challenges in releasing the player due to unspecified reasons.<\/p>\n
Gunda said he has since written Football Association of Zambia General Secretary, Ponga Liwewe, to get a clear picture of why Dynamos are failing to release the player to the Flames.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe suspect foul-play. They [Dynamos] are telling us that the player is facing work-permit challenges, yet the work-permit was issued. We understand that they have a crucial match this weekend and they want Sailesi to play for them,\u201d Gunda said.<\/p>\n
Sailesi was supposed to join camp yesterday.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Flames Team Manager, James Sangala, has confirmed that South Africa-based Gabadinho Mhango and Gerard Phiri Jnr joined the squad on Monday alongside Mozambique-based John Banda.<\/p>\n
South Africa-based Robert Ng\u2019ambi, Richard Mbulu, Frank Banda and Charles Swini from Mozambique were supposed to join camp yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe coach is expected to announce the final travelling squad on Wednesday [today],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Flames will be without injured Captain, Limbikani Mzava, when facing Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
