FCB Nyasa Big Bullets: 23-Man Squad Heads North for Crucial TNM Super League Fixtures
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, the 17-time champions of the Malawi Super League, have named a robust 23-man squad for their upcoming away games against Mzuzu City Hammers and MAFCO. The team departed for the Northern and Central Regions of Malawi on Tuesday, with the first game set for Rumphi Stadium against Mzuzu City Hammers on Thursday, and the second game slated for Champion Stadium against MAFCO on Sunday.
The squad includes several new additions, among them Zambian left-back Dominic Musonda and youngster Edward Thengo. Musonda, who started both in the Airtel Top 8 final triumph against Silver Strikers last week and Sunday's 1-0 home defeat to Blue Eagles, is a welcome addition to the squad. Thengo, who has shown great promise, also keeps his place in the squad.
Another notable inclusion is Blessings Joseph, who joined the team from Chitipa United in January. Joseph, a seasoned player, is making his first appearance with the team since his arrival. Chikumbutso Henderson, a former Mzuzu City Hammers player, is also part of the squad and will be hoping to face his old club for the first time since joining Bullets.
Versatile defender Andrew Jovinala and midfielder Paul Master are making their first trips to the North with the team. Jovinala, who has already made 11 appearances across all competitions this season, is a valuable addition. Master, who made his full TNM Super League debut on Sunday against his former club, Blue Eagles, is eager to continue building momentum as Bullets take on two crucial away assignments.
Sean McBrams, a wing attacker who has already featured in the league this season, returns to the squad after missing the recent Airtel Top 8 Final and league fixture at Kamuzu Stadium due to injury. New signing Khumbo Banda, who agreed to a two-year deal this week, is yet to be registered and will have to wait until the transfer window opens on August 8 to make his debut for the team.
These two away games are crucial for Bullets as they aim to bounce back from their home loss and close the gap in the title race. The team currently sits third in the league standings, six points behind leaders Silver Strikers and MAFCO, who are in second place. Bullets will be hoping to secure maximum points in both games to keep their title hopes alive.
The team's coach, Meck Mwase, expressed his satisfaction with the squad, saying, "We have a strong squad, and we are confident that we can get positive results in both games. We have been working hard in training, and I believe that we are ready to face these challenges."
Bullets fans are eagerly anticipating these games, and they will be hoping that their team can secure maximum points to keep their title dreams alive. The team's next home game is against Wizards FC on August 14.
