Simba's holding midfielder, Victor Akpan continued to miss Simba's matches due to injuries he suffered in a friendly game against Asante Kotoko in Sudan
Akpan, a Nigerian citizen who joined Simba from the Coastal Union club, has noted that the injuries caused him to not appear in the field even though he has already started light training
"I only played one match against Asante Kotoko out of the two games that Simba played in Sudan including the hosts of the special tournament, Al Hilal and got injured and the injury will keep me out of the field for three weeks, although I continue and light gym exercises"
"I feel bad because I need to play more due to joining the team soon but it is God's plans when I am fit I will return to the field to continue my duties as usual," he said
While serving Coastal Union, Akpan was an important player for coach Juma Mgunda who has also joined Simba
The previous Simba coach Zoran Maki did not accept Akpan's ability but there is no doubt that when he recovers Mgunda will use him because he is a player he knows well
