Impact Banda hasn't been able to train fully after picking up a bruise in the last match and will be out this week. He'll attempt to recover for Feb. 25's tilt versus Inter.

Dealing with minor problem Banda subbed off due to a right knee contusion versus Bologna, Lecce announced.

Forced off early Banda was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Bologna with an injury.

He has scored and assisted once in his last five appearances, adding 16 shots (seven on target) and seven chances created in his last five showings.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves for AFCON Banda has joined Zambia's retreat ahead of AFCON, Lecce announced.

He has scored and assisted once and added 16 shots (nine on target) and five chances created in the last five fixtures. Lecce will visit Empoli next Monday.
