Obviously, Simba's defender Hennock Inonga will not be part of the team that will face Power Dynamos in the second leg game to compete for a ticket to the group stage of the CAF Champions League
It is due to the injury he got in the game against Coastal Union the other day and had to have 13 stitches
According to Simba Doctor, Edwin Kagabo said Inonga was treated at the Temeke Appeal Hospital where he received 13 stitches in the wound and has already been allowed to return home
"Inonga has been discharged from the hospital, he got an injury where he was injured in the last match with Tanzania Prisons, the good thing is that he has not broken a bone, it's just a sore"
"The question of how long he will be out depends on how he recovers from the wound, but I think he won't be out for too long," said Dr. Kagabo
According to Cosmas Kapiga who is a member of the Tanzania Sports Medicine Association (TASMA) he said professionally that anyone who has had stitches should stay for seven days and then remove the stitches, after that the wound takes 7 to 14 days to heal
"But with Inonga's injury, since he has had a problem with one leg, after the stitches are removed, he can practice keeping himself straight without disturbing the leg that had a problem"
"After those 14 days, he will be required to practice pushing with his colleagues because the wound has already healed," said Kapinga who was once a doctor for Simba and is now the Chairman of the Tanzania Athletics Federation's medical committee. >
After the game against Power Dynamos, the next game will be against Tanzania Prisons which will be played on October 05 and will be followed by the African Football League game against Al Ahly which will be played on October 20
