Lecce warning Banda ‘will face consequences of his behaviour’ after going AWOL
Lecce warned they still ‘haven’t heard from Lameck Banda for several days’ and warned that when he does finally turn up, ‘he will pay the consequences of his behaviour.’
The Zambia international is under contract until June 2027, as the club took up an option to extend for one more year.
He was meant to be at pre-season training earlier this month, then a statement was released noting that he had red tape issues returning to Italy.
There had been reports he had left Zambia, but it seems as if he has now stopped answering calls.

“Unfortunately, we haven’t heard from Lameck Banda for several days,” confessed director Stefano Trinchera to the Nuovo Quotidiano di Puglia newspaper.
“We are continuing to call Banda in for his medical tests, but receive no reply. We’ll see how long this goes on for. What we can be certain of is that he will pay the consequences for his behaviour.
“It is an understatement to say that we feel let down. We have always been very supportive of Lameck, including in some personal matters. This is why his behaviour has surprised us all.”
Banda is 25 years old and has been at Lecce since 2022, when he made the transfer from Maccabi Petah Tikva for €2m.
The winger made 109 competitive appearances for the Salentini, finding the net nine times with 12 assists.
He also has 22 senior caps for Zambia, where he scored three goals.
