Simba manager Mikael Igendia is with the squad continuing preparations to face Asec Mimosas on Friday
This is the second time Igendia returns to Ivory Coast where he stayed for about three weeks as an analyst for the Tanzanian national team 'Taifa Stars'
Speaking of the team's preparations, Igendia said all the players who traveled with the team are in good shape for the game
"The situation here is good, I'm glad I got the chance to come back here after previously coming with the Tanzanian national team"
"All the players are ready, we have come with a strong team believing we will leave with good results"
"Some players have stayed at home in Tanzania due to various reasons. We wanted to have goalkeeper Ayoub Lakred but he is serving three yellow cards"
"Onana is also injured and is not ready to be used in this game. The important thing is that we are here as a strong team and we are here to compete," said Igendia
