Zambia forced into quarantine after cancelled second Chile friendly

Zambia's women's team have entered into isolation after some of its members tested positive for Covid-19 following last week Thursday's international friendly against Chile, Goal can exclusively report.

On Monday, Goal reported the abrupt cancellation of the Africans' second test match against La Roja hours before kick-off on Tuesday, after some result of tests on the visitors returned positive.

Before the cancellation, the South Americans suffered a 2-1 defeat against the Copper Queens thanks to strikes from Barbara Banda and Racheal Nachula in the first of two scheduled friendlies last week.
