Head coach Wedson Nyirenda has provided the latest fitness update as Bullets continue preparations for Saturday’s FDH Bank Premiership fixture against Creck Sporting Club.
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets have received an encouraging fitness boost ahead of Saturday’s FDH Bank Premiership encounter against Creck Sporting Club, with Madalitso Safuli returning to full training while Ahmad Kung’unde has taken another important step in his recovery by rejoining the squad in training.
Safuli has resumed full training after missing Monday’s 1-0 victory over Masters FC through injury, giving head coach Wedson Nyirenda another option in midfield ahead of the Matchweek 9 fixture.
Kung’unde has also rejoined the squad in training after recovering from the injury he sustained during pre-season preparations. The former Mighty Wanderers defender, who joined The People’s Team ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, featured in the club’s pre-season friendlies before the setback delayed his competitive debut for Bullets.
Midfielder Paul Master, who also missed the Masters FC fixture through injury, remains unavailable as he continues to be assessed by the club’s medical team.
Providing an update during Thursday’s pre-match press conference, Nyirenda expressed satisfaction with the squad’s improving fitness situation ahead of the weekend assignment.
“Our health bill is not so bad. We are still having our midfielder Paul [Master] out, he’s still being assessed by the doctors. And the other boy [Madalitso] Safuli is back in training, he’s training full time. Defender [Ahmad] Kung’unde is also back, he started full training today; that is a good sign now that we’re going to be a full house soon.”
Nyirenda’s update means Safuli gives Bullets another option in midfield ahead of Saturday’s fixture, while Kung’unde’s return to full training marks another positive step in his recovery as he continues working towards his competitive debut for The People’s Team.
