Malawi National Football Team interim coach Kalisto Pasuwa has recalled striker Frank Gabadinho Mhango and defender-cum midfielder Charles Petro for dead rubber Africa Cup of Nations ( AFCON) qualifiers against Burundi and Burkina Faso next week.
The Marumo Gallants striker returns to the Flames fold after he was omitted under former coach Patrick Mabedi, who was sacked last week following poor performance of the team in all competitions.
Petro, who is based in Romania makes a return to the Flames after almost one year of absence.
However, Pasuwa has maintained a bulk of the squad that played Senegal last month.
Mozambique based captain John Banda, Richard Mbulu and Lloyd Njaliwa are also in the squad.
Notable exclusions in the squad are Stanley Sanudi , Chimwemwe Idana, Lawrence Chaziya and Yamikani Chester.
But FCB Nyasa Big Bullets goalkeeper Richard Chimbamba, defender Alick Lungu and midfielder Yankho Singo have been included in the squad.
