Simba head coach Pablo Franco has said two players Hassan Dilunga and captain John Bocco will miss the Premier League match against Coastal Union which will be played at Mkwakwani Stadium on Thursday
Speaking about his squad's preparations for the game, Pablo said injuries will keep those players out but all other players are ready
Pablo said despite his team not having enough time to prepare for the game due to difficult schedule, he said they are determined to make sure they get good results
Pablo has expressed dissatisfaction with the state of Mkwakwani Stadium and questioned whether the stadium deserves to be used in a premier league match
"We played a series of matches, so we did not have much time to prepare. We trained before traveling and today we will do light training here"
"All players are ready for the game except Hassan Dilunga and John Bocco who are injured"
"We will see if there will be a football or other game here as it does not seem appropriate to play a football match. We will put our energy and see how best we can get good result here," said Pablo
Defender Gadiel Michael has said the players are ready for the game they need to win to reduce the points difference against the league leaders
"We are ready for the game, we know it will be a tough game as Coastal Union is a good team and they will be on their home ground. We need to win to reduce the points difference against those above us," said Gadiel.
