The number has risen to 13 this morning which is half of all players
"Our game against Tanzania Prisons will be played as usual despite the condition of more than half of our players getting sick"
"On the day of the trip we had to leave Yennick Bangala and Kit Manager Mr Mpogolo after a sudden illness "
"The team traveled with 23 players, until yesterday five players were not ok, which is why our coach was not sure who will be available for today's game. This morning the number of sick players increased to 13" < / em>
