Yanga Information Officer Ali Kamwe said new defender Mamadou Doumbia could not be used in the Premier League game against Ruvu Shooting yesterday because he did not train with his teammates
Kamwe said despite the defender being 'fit' coming from Algeria where he was with the Mali national team, the technical bench has needed to give him more time at the training ground so that he can understand Yanga's methods and culture
"Doumbia arrived in the country on Saturday night, he could not train the next day because he was very tired. Even though, the technical bench saw no reason for the defender to be rushed in"
"Our team did not have a problem in the defensive area before the game against Ruvu Shooting. I believe he will have a good time training with his teammates before the FA Cup game against Rhino Rangers on Sunday"
"Perhaps the Citizens will see him in the game," said Kamwe
Meanwhile, Kamwe said striker Kennedy Musonda is fit despite appearing limp when he was taken off in the game against Ruvu Shooting yesterday
Kamwe said Yanga doctor's report has confirmed that Musonda was not injured, only suffered a muscle spasm, he is strong enough to play in the next matches
