You can say the effect of playing many matches in a has started to be seen in the Simba squad due to the wave of injuries
Yesterday Simba were forced to draw 2-2 against Namungo Fc in the premier league game played at Majaliwa stadium in Ruangwa in Lindi
In the game, Simba missed seven players who are injured and also another injured Kibu Denis who failed to finish 45 minutes of the first half
Shomari Kapombe, Luis Miquissone, Clatous Chama, Saido Ntibazonkiza, Sadio Kanoute, Hennock Inonga, Ladark Chasambi, Aishi Manula and now Kibu Denis has entered the casualty room at Msimbazi
The truth is that Simba's first team players have been used a lot, since the time with Coach Robertinho Oliveira and even Abdelhak Benchikha, there was no big 'rotation' of players where on average every match the same players were used
Starting with the Community Shield, Premier League, AFL, FA Cup, Mapinduzi Cup and recently the Union Cup, the majority of players used are the same
The reasons given by all the coaches are that the team did not have the best options outside of the 11 players used in almost every match
This was evident in some matches, when some players are missing then Simba has a difficult time on the field
In the next registration, the issue of the balance and ability of the players must be taken into account to ensure that the team has a wide squad because the team must have the best players outside of the starting 11
The Premier League ends this month on May 30, Simba faces eight matches where on average they will have to play every three or four days
If you look at the current injury challenge, you can see that these final matches of the season will be very difficult
Those who will be fit to play will have to really fight at least even if the second place is available to secure a ticket to the champions league because CAF has not yet reached an agreement on whether the AFL championship should replace the CAF CC or the AFL should be canceled and prizes added to CAF CL and CAF CC?
