MALAWI FINALISE SQUAD FOR SWAZILAND

Malawi have drafted in goalkeeper Simeon Kapuza and uncapped striker Sankhani Nyirenda in two late changes to a 20-man squad for the Cosafa Castle Cup Group B tournament in Swaziland at the weekend.
The pair had been left out of a provisional squad named by new coach Stephen Constantine earlier this month.
Seven of the players are based in South Africa and two come from Tanzania club Young Africans, previously coached by former Malawi captain Jack Chamangwana.
But missing will be veteran captain John Maduka, now retired from international football, and the striking pair of Russel Mwafulirwa, who plays in South Africa for Ajax Cape Town, and Russia-based striker Esau Kanyenda.
Mwafulirwa’s club play in the South African Cup final in Durban on Saturday while Kanyenda will be in Russian league action for FC Rostov at the weekend.
Malawi meet South Africa in the first of the semifinal matches at the Somhlolo stadium on Saturday.
