Derek coming for Zambia match

According to sources, Derek Boateng has been invited to camp for the Black Meteors final olympic qualifier against Zambia on Sunday and he is coming for the match.

"This is very flattering for Derek, but comes at an inappriopriate time for us" -says AIK's sports director Peter Kisfaludy. This is because Derek will be missing the two remaining pre-season friendlies for his club, AIK.

It will be recalled that Derek who had been injured all winter and missed the Olympic qualifiers against Algeria and South Africa, made an impressive comeback last weekend.
