Yesterday Yanga officially announced that they will part ways with two foreign players in order to meet the requirements of local registration regulations where only 12 players are allowed to be registered
It is Chico Ushindi and Yacouba Songne who, however, Yanga has made it clear that they will talk to him to see how they can help him now that his contract has ended and he still needs to improve due to the serious injuries he sustained in November 2021
There are different opinions among Yanga fans where there are those who are not satisfied with the abandonment of Ushindi who is returning to his old club, TP Mazembe
Ushindi really 'lit' the fire in the late games last season scoring two goals and providing one assist
Since he joined Yanga in January 2022, Ushindi participated in 10 games and in none of the games did he play 90 minutes
The challenge that has probably led the technical bench to suggest that he be left, is injuries
Ushindi was facing a series of injuries, it was not easy for him to be used in consecutive matches
He will play one match, he will miss three, four games, etc. and then he will appear again
Yanga has big goals next season, to defend all three titles and do well in the Champions League where the Citizens want to at least reach the group stage
It would not be easy for Ushindi to be included in the squad despite the quality he showed in the last games
It is the cause of injuries that have also contributed to Yacouba being dropped from the team. It is clear that Yacouba will need more time before returning to the field in good health
Yanga has decided to keep 12 foreign players who do not have a bad record of injuries and can be used for many minutes
Obviously, the decision to part ways with Saido Ntibazonkiza also took into account the needs of the team
