With the arrival of Tanzania-based Chipolopolo midfielder Clatous Chota Chama, Zambia coach Avram Grant now has a full squad of 25 players in camp in the United Arab Emirates ahead of the international friendly game against Egypt tomorrow. Chama, who is affectionately known as Triple C, joined the camp last night after fulfilling club duties with Simba Sports Club and will be part of this evening's training session. The friendly matches against Egypt and Uganda, which will both be played at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, are part of preparations for the November back-to-back FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Congo Brazzaville and Niger. Grant summoned 25 players for the two friendly games, and the arrival of Chama means that he now has all of his players at his disposal. The Chipolopolo coach will be hoping to use the two matches to assess his squad and try out different tactics ahead of the crucial World Cup qualifiers. Zambia will be looking to get a positive result against Egypt, who are ranked 32nd in the world. The Pharaohs are one of the strongest teams in Africa, and a good performance against them would boost Zambia's confidence ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
