Malawi’s Flames coach Meck Mwase has named a 43-man provisional squad for the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. The list included 13 players who will be on standby should there be a need to replace any of the players.
Among the players named in the squad is South Africa based Gabadinho Mhango, Limbikani Mzamva and Richard Mbulu, who will join the team’s training camp held in Saudi Arabia only later in the week after local league games in South Africa.
Mhango is making a return to the side after missing out on the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers due to injury.
The Flames will battle it out in Group B alongside Senegal, Guinea and Zimbabwe. Mwase’s side will begin their TotalEnergies AFCON campaign against Guinea on January 10 before facing Zimbabwe four days later.
