Leicester City forward Patson Daka has been included in Zambia’s 28-man squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, which means he will be unavailable for Leicester until the new year.
Zambia’s Ambition in AFCON 2023
Zambia aims to secure their second AFCON title, having previously won the prestigious trophy in 2012. Under the leadership of head coach Moses Sichone, the team is preparing for a challenging tournament. Daka, at 27 years old, will play a crucial role in their quest for victory.
Key Dates for Zambia in AFCON
- First Match: Zambia vs. Mali – 22 December 2023
- Second Match: Zambia vs. Comoros – 26 December 2023
- Third Match: Zambia vs. Morocco – 29 December 2023
Currently, Leicester City stands at 14th in the Championship. Daka has scored only once this season for the club. His absence will be felt as they prepare for their game against Bristol City on Wednesday.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Zambia embarks on their AFCON journey, with hopes of seeing Daka shine on the international stage.
