As Simba SC continues preparations for the season-ending matches, there is good news for the Msimbazi Reds' fans—two of their key players, Shomari Kapombe and Moussa Camara, are under special medical observation to ensure they return in time to face Yanga SC in the Kariakoo Derby, scheduled for June 15 at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
Simba's reliable goalkeeper, Moussa Camara, raised concerns among the club's supporters after aggravating a knee injury during the CRDB Federation Cup semi-final against Singida Black Stars—a match Simba lost 3-1, resulting in their elimination from the tournament.
Camara, who currently leads the NBC Premier League with 17 clean sheets, has been a crucial figure for Simba, and his return is eagerly anticipated.
On the other hand, right-back Shomari Kapombe sustained an injury in a league match against Singida BS. Due to his condition, he was withdrawn from the Taifa Stars squad currently in South Africa to allow him time to recover.
Simba’s team doctor, Edwin Kagabo, has confirmed that the two players are facing fitness challenges but has assured the Msimbazi faithful that both will be ready for the big showdown on June 15.
In addition to the much-anticipated Derby, Simba is also set to play two more NBC Premier League matches against KenGold and Kagera Sugar before the season officially ends.
Simba needs to win all three remaining matches to reclaim the league title, which they have missed for three consecutive seasons—having been taken by their arch-rivals, Yanga.
