Former Orlando Pirates midfielder Isaac Chansa has been dropped from Zambia’s 2014 World Cup Group D qualifiers next month against Lesotho and Sudan.

Herve Renard left out the former Buccaneer from his 25-member team unveiled on May 27 at Football House in Lusaka for the June 8 and 15 games against Lesotho and Sudan respectively.

Chansa has only recently returned to competitive League action since leaving Chinese club Henan Jianye at the end of 2012.

"Isaac has not been called for the June assignment," Football Association of Zambia spokesperson Erick Mwanza said.

"He has not been called largely because he has not played any League action from November last year."

Chansa this month signed a short-term deal with Zambian League champions Zanaco whom he has been training with since returning from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

This is the second time Renard has dropped Chansa after cutting him from the 2010 World Cup Group C qualifier against Egypt in March 2009

Chipolopolo has much more talent than Banana Banana , they always qualify to the nations cup. We may experience a few problems here and there but we cannot be compared to Bafana Bafana who have been failing to qualify to the nations cup. We have young players like Chisamba lungu , Nsuzu , Sinkala , Mbola , Fwayo , Mayuka , Mukuka Mulenga and the list endless , all what is needed is a winning combination with old guys. We might not have huge resources but talent wise , we are better than Banana Banana .

Wow! The Most Decorated Player currently plying his trade in Africa. Call it a Fluke Afcon Win or whatever you wanna call it, Chansa doesn't care. Winning a Continental Cup in a foreign country, where everything is against your team.... that can never be a fluke. Bafana Bafana is more pathetic than Zambia... The last time Bafana Bafana won the Afcon Mandela was still President. I AM MAYANGA!!! #YOUNGEST BLOGGER ON S.L & K.O#
