Chiefs striker Kambole misses his family

Kaizer Chiefs attacker Lazalous Kambole says he wishes he was at home in Zambia to battle the coronavirus pandemic situation with his family.


Kambole, who joined Chiefs from Zesco United at the beginning of the season, is unable to be with his family because of the travel ban imposed by government due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Chiefs have also placed the team on standby, implying the players are not allowed to travel home to be with family in case they are required at a short notice to return to work.

“I am doing well under the circumstances we find ourselves in. I believe with God’s grace that we will get through this situation. It is a painful experience, and it will require us to be strong, united and cooperative for us to get back to normality,” Kambole told the Chiefs official website.

“Training alone is not enough to keep match fit. However, it is important to stay physically and mentally fit under the guidance of the trainers. When we are allowed to get back to the pitch, we will catch up with ball work and take it one step at the time.

“We are professionals and being away from home is part of our job. But this is different because things are abnormal. I wish I (were) home to battle this situation with my family. At the same time, I’m grateful to still have a job and being able to provide for my family. Thanks to the Club,” Kambole added.
