Cameroon striker, Leonel Ateba, expects to lead Simba's attack line in the international friendly match against Al Hilal from Sudan to be played tomorrow at the KMC Complex, Dar es Salaam
The head coach of Simba, Fadlu Davids, has said that he is expected to use the striker who was signed from USM Alger in Algeria, who was not included in the previous Premier League game against Fountain Gate due to incomplete permit procedures
Fadlu said at the moment all the procedures for using the player have been completed so he will lead the attack in the game which is special to prepare for the first round match of the African Confederation Cup against Al Ahly Tripoli of Libya
>"I didn't use him not for technical reasons, but he had permit problems, now everything is ready, I will use him in that game to keep him fit, get along with his teammates towards our Confederations Cup match," he said Fadlu
Ateba is the last player to be signed by Wekundu wa Msimbazi, as a replacement for Freddy Michael, who it is said the coach was not satisfied with, thus asking the club's bosses to find another striker before the closing of the big registration window
However, Fadlu said that in addition to hoping to play the striker, he will also play Valentino Mashaka, a star who has started to shine in his squad
"Steven Mukwala has gone to his Ugandan national team squad, for strikers I am left with Mashaka, he will help with Ateba, he is a very good striker and you have seen every time he comes off the bench he scores in both games he has played," he said
Mashaka who before the Premier League matches yesterday was leading in scoring, with two goals, scoring them in two different matches, against Tabora United, Simba winning 3-0 goals and against Fountain Gate, winning 4 goals- 0 and all from the bench
