Yanga secured a 1-0 victory over Coastal Union in a Premier League match played on Monday, April 7, at the KMC Complex Stadium
However, the victory came with bad news after their key midfielder, Khalid Aucho, failed to complete 90 minutes due to a hamstring injury
Aucho, who has been a mainstay of Yanga's midfield this season, was withdrawn early due to the injury
Yanga's Communications Manager, Ali Kamwe, confirmed the injury by saying:
"Khalid Aucho has injured his hamstring during the match against Coastal Union. He will not be available for our next league match against Azam FC to be played on Thursday, April 10," said Kamwe
This is a blow for Yanga, especially considering that the match against Azam FC is crucial in the championship race
Aucho, The Ugandan has been a key contributor this season with his ability to read the game, steal the ball and calm down opposition attacks. Head coach Miloud Hamdi will be forced to make changes in the midfield. Players like Duke Abuya or Mudathir Yahya could be given more responsibilities in that area. While the medical team continues to conduct a detailed assessment of his condition, Yanga fans are hopeful that the star will make a speedy recovery and return to the field before the end of the season.
