Malawi’s celebrated footballer, Temwa Chawinga, has announced that she will not be able to represent her country in the upcoming international matches due to injury.
In a heartfelt post shared on her official Facebook page, Temwa revealed that the setback has left her heartbroken, as she had been eagerly looking forward to donning national colors once again.
She expressed that the injury has forced her to step back temporarily from national team duties, a decision made in consultation with her doctors and coaches at her club, KC Current, where she continues to receive specialized medical care.
Temwa stated that she is currently working closely with her team’s medical professionals to regain full fitness, emphasizing that her recovery process is being taken one day at a time.
Despite her disappointment, she expressed immense love and support for her Malawi national teammates, sending them words of encouragement and wishing them the very best in the upcoming matches.
Her message carried both a tone of gratitude and resilience as she thanked her fans, teammates, and supporters for standing by her during this difficult period.
Concluding her message with the hashtag #movingforward, Temwa signaled her determination to overcome the setback and return stronger to the pitch.
Temwa Chawinga’s absence will undoubtedly be felt by the Malawi national team, given her exceptional skill, leadership, and consistent goal-scoring ability that have earned her recognition across the African continent and beyond.
However, her commitment to recovery and optimism about the future reflect the same fighting spirit that has made her one of Malawi’s most admired sporting icons.
