Zungu has now come in for criticism from Amiens head coach Philippe Hinschberger who hit out and his lack of conditioning.
"Bongani Zungu is not ready at all to play. His issue is that he has a weight problem.
"He's been working on this for a while and he's now on more than just one session a day."
Reports had suggested that Zungu had returned to Amiens training from South Africa 10 kilograms overweight.
"I've spoken to him about it, but the player himself must take charge," Hinschberger added.
"We're doing the maximum we can with him.
"He remains very good with the ball and can read the game, but he still carries weight and does not have the physique of a professional footballer."
