While the Tanzanian national team 'Taifa Stars' has already arrived in South Africa for an international friendly match against Bafana Bafana which will be played tomorrow, Friday, Simba's right-back Shomari Kapombe is not part of the players who traveled.
Stars Assistant Coach Jamhuri Kiwhelo said Kapombe has been left out due to a health challenge he is facing.
"Kapombe is sick, we have been informed by Simba that the player needs a two-week break so we have given him permission," he said.
Six other Simba players have continued to remain in the Stars squad where they will return to the country after the match against South Africa tomorrow.
The players are Ali Salim, Mohammed Hussein, Abdulrazak Hamza, Yusuph Kagoma, Valentino Mashaka and Kibu Denis.
