“We will miss the services of four players when we take on Tanzania Prisons and most of them are suffering from injuries that are yet to heal,” Zakaria told reporters in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
“For example, Obrey [Chirwa], who got injured during the 2-2 draw against Simba SC, has resumed light training sessions but I don’t think he is fit enough to start or play in a competitive match.
“I think it is now upon the technical bench to decide if they can use him or not but if you ask me, I don’t think he will be ready for the Monday clash.”
“Our forward Yahya Zayd is expected to stay out of action for the next six weeks,” Azam confirmed on their social media pages. “This is after he picked a shoulder injury during the match against Mbeya City.
“Zayd, who assisted the goal scored by Prince Dube during the match, was forced out of the match before the second half after he picked the injury while trying to score in the match.”
Apart from Zayd, during the mini-transfer window which shut at midnight on January 15, Azam brought on board striker Mpiana Mozinzi from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ugandan goalkeeper Mathis Kigonya from Zambia’s Forest Rangers.
