Yanga club is going through a difficult period due to a series of injuries affecting its players.
As the defending NBC Premier League champions prepare to face TRA United in a match to be played at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium on Wednesday, Yanga management has confirmed the absence of four star players who have remained in Dar es Salaam due to injuries.
A statement released by Yanga yesterday revealed that central defender Ibrahim Bacca suffered a hip injury in the previous match against Azam FC and will be out of action for three weeks.
Forward Laurindo Aurelio “Depu” has also sustained a thigh muscle injury and is expected to be out for two weeks.
Also included are Chadrack Boka, who is dealing with a groin problem, and Edmund John, who is still recovering from a shoulder injury, both expected to be sidelined for two weeks.
These players join defender Dickson Job and attacking midfielder Clement Mzize, who will be out until the end of the season after recently undergoing surgery in South Africa.
