Zambia coach Renard Herve has named his strongest squad to play Ghana in a friendly in London next week. The Frenchman, who was the physical trainer of the Black Stars last year, is keen on proving a point to the West Africans for underrating his coaching qualities. He named most of the players who have been instrumental in the Chipolopolo’s impressive run on the World Cup qualifiers. Herve named all his Europe-based players for the game as he seeks to beat Ghana to establish his reputation. Germany-based captain Chris Katongo will lead his side that includes Utrecht forward Jacob Mulenga and CHAN top scorer Given Singuluma. France-based Felix Katongo as well as German Bundesliga player Andrew Sinkala are also in the team for the game. The Black Stars will clash with the Chipolopolo in London at Brisbane Road on 12 August. The game forms part of the Black Stars warm-up for September's World Cup qualifier against Sudan in Accra. Ghana are in pole position in Group Five and they will strengthen their grip on top of the table if they secure a win over the Nile Crocodiles.
