Goalkeeper Yacoub Suleiman is likely to start between the posts today as Simba SC take on Namungo FC in the NBC Premier League clash at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
First-choice shot-stopper Moussa Camara picked up a knock during Simba’s CAF Champions League fixture against Gaborone United, which ended in a 1-1 draw. This has opened the door for Yacoub to make his competitive debut for the Reds of Msimbazi.
The Taifa Stars’ number one joined Simba in the recent transfer window from JKT Tanzania, brought in to strengthen the goalkeeping department after the departures of Aishi Manula and Ali Salim.
Tonight’s fixture could therefore mark Yacoub’s first official competitive start for Simba SC, with fans eager to see how he handles the big occasion under the floodlights of Benjamin Mkapa.
