Racheal Kundananji Faces Six-Week Layoff Due to Injury, Could Miss Morocco Matches

Bay FC striker Racheal Kundananji‘s injury sustained during the game against the Black Queens may sideline her for up to six weeks, according to recent reports. The 23-year-old was stretchered off the field with a knee injury in the 60th minute of the match.

Despite being unable to walk on her own, Kundananji was later seen celebrating their victory, hopping on one leg. This injury setback comes just as she was set to make her debut for Bay FC after her record-breaking transfer from Madrid for over $788,000.

The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate as Kundananji was slated to join her Bay FC teammates in training camp next week. Prior to that, she needed to finalize her visa arrangements with Spain before flying to California.

Kundananji’s absence could also impact her availability for the upcoming Zambia vs Morocco match, depending on her recovery timeline. Her crucial goal in the first leg against Ghana highlights her importance to the national team, making her potential absence a significant loss for Zambia.
