The return leg Match Day Four is scheduled for Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe
The team will proceed to Senegal after spending a night in Ethiopia where they will take a connecting flight.
According to a statement from Football Association of Malawi (FAM) coach Patrick Mabedi, who was under pressure to include seasoned players such as Richard Mbulu, was dealt a blow after the Mozambique-based player was replaced for Isaac because of an injury.
Kaliati, who was also a fan favourite after taking his goal to 14 and leads the goal-scorers chart, was called up on stand by.
Mabedi, whose charges lost 3-2 to Burundi and 3-1 to Burkina Faso, also called up Mighty Mukuru Wanderers left-back Timothy Silwimba and Mozambique-based Lloyd Njaliwa by public demand but there was no place for South Africa based Afcon 2021 hero Gabadinho Mhango purportedly due to disciplinary reasons following a drink and drive incident which left him injured.
