    Malawi’s Flames coach Stephen Constantine has recalled remorseful South Africa-based goalkeeper Swadick Sanudi for this Sunday’s African Nations Cup dead rubber qualifier against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.

    The English coach, who has lost all five games since taking over the Flames in March, summoned back the Dynamos player for the Group 12 qualifier after he apologised for leaving camp without permission in May.

    Sanudi stepped on Constantine’s toes when he opted to leave the Flames to rejoin Dynamos camp in South Africa after being called to report for possible participation in national play-offs.

    “I don’t hold a grudge; the most important part has been resolved. As a professional player you have responsibility, there is a line, you cross that line, you are in trouble,” the coach told the press when he announced a 24-member provisional squad in Blantyre on Thursday.

    “They’ll be people who will slip up along the way but if you make a mistake, you must have the guts to stand up and say ‘I made a mistake.”

    Constantine also included in the squad other South Africa based players Robert Ng’ambi, Fischer Kondowe of Black Leopards, Benoni Premier United’s James Sangala, Tawonga Chimodzi from Santos, Russel Mwafulirwa of Ajax Cape Town, Dynamos’ Allan Kamanga, Joseph Kamwendo from Orlando Pirates and Europe based duo of Esau Kanyenda and Clement Kafwafwa.

    Captain Peter Mponda, who plays for Black Leopards in South Africa, is suspended for the match alongside Tanzania’s Young Africans midfielder James Chilapondwa. Flames squad: Goalkeeper Swadick Sanudi (Dynamos, South Africa), Simeon Kapuza (Escom United), Chimwemwe Chitedze (Big Bullets).

    Defenders; Clement Kafwafwa (Lolland Falster Alliance, Denmark), Moses Chavula (MTL Wanderers), James Sangala (Benoni Premier United, South Africa), Wisdom Ndlovu (Young Africans, Tanzania), Ndaziona Chilemba (Silver Strikers), Elvis Kafoteka (Escom United), Alan Kamanga (Dynamos, South Africa).

    Midfielders: Joseph Kamwendo (Orlando Pirates, South Africa), Russel Mwafulirwa(Ajax Cape Town, South Africa), Noel Mkandawire, Peter Wadabwa (Escom United), Esau Kanyenda (Rostov, Russia).
