Balama is back after a long absence

Yesterday Yanga fans witnessed midfielder Mapinduzi Balama returning to the field after absence of about 18 months

Balama played 45 minutes of the second half in a friendly match against Mbuni Fc which ended with Yanga emerging with a 2-0 win

What impressed many was the performance shown by him

Balama has gone through difficult times throughout his ankle treatment

It came to a point where he even despaired of returning to the field due to the type of injuries he had sustained where he had to undergo surgery twice

Coach Nasreddine Nabi will continue to give him a chance even in league games and other competitions to strengthen him further

The important thing is to see him back on the field again in the same quality
