Following goalkeeper Yacoub Suleiman’s injury while on national team duty, Simba have suffered a major setback as they are now without their two first-choice goalkeepers.
Moussa Camara is still recovering after undergoing major knee surgery in Morocco and is expected to remain sidelined until the end of February 2026.
Although the injury sustained by Yacoub is not considered very serious, it is clear that he will require close medical attention to ensure an early and safe return.
It should be recalled that after the conclusion of the AFCON 2025 tournament at the end of January 2026, there will be a demanding four-month period of back-to-back matches across all competitions in order to ensure the 2025/26 season calendar is completed on time.
The FIFA World Cup will take place in the United States in June 2026, meaning all domestic leagues must be concluded by May 2026.
Other Simba players currently sidelined with injuries include defenders Abdulrazak Hamza and Rushine De Reuck, while winger Mohamed Bajaber continues his recovery after being out for a long period due to injury.
