Simba SC coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa states why they arrived in South Africa earlier than usual for their Caf Champions League fixture against Kaizer Chiefs.
“Morrison was suffering from Malaria and he is gradually getting better now,” Matola told
Daily News. “If we will reach as far as the finals of the competition, perhaps he will earn a chance to play.”
Simba have already reached the semi-finals of the competition after beating Mtibwa Sugar 2-0. It was Mtibwa who beat Simba 1-0 in last year’s final to lift the trophy and Matola says they are on course to return home with the trophy.
“The match was difficult but I am thankful to my players because what we tasked them to do prior to the match was executed well leading us to generate the positive results, he continued.
Simba team manager Abbas Ally has revealed Miquissone was asked by doctors to remain under observation and take a break hence the decision to allow him to leave the camp.
“Luis is already back in Dar after suffering an injury in the game against FC Platinum so he is currently undergoing treatment and I don’t think he will return to play the remaining matches,” Ally told
“We only have a semi-final match and then final [if we qualify] and that will be too soon to have him back again.”
Miquissone was not part of the starting line-up against Chipukizi in the tournament opener which Simba won 3-1, and he also missed the 2-0 win against defending champions Mtibwa Sugar.
