Today, Saturday at 5:00 p.m., the “Wananchi” will take to Benjamin Mkapa Stadium for their second-leg preliminary round match of the CAF Champions League against Wiliete SC.
Yanga will go into the fixture without their most expensive striker, Clement Mzize, who is sidelined with injury.
Mzize first sustained the injury during the CHAN tournament, and it was aggravated in the first-leg clash in Angola.
The forward — whom Yanga worked hard to retain during the transfer window despite multiple offers — also missed their recent Premier League match against Pamba Jiji.
In his absence, coach Romain Folz is likely to turn to Edmund John, who has impressed in the past two matches.
Edmund scored one of Yanga’s goals in their 3–0 first-leg victory over Wiliete SC in Angola.
