Yanga SC will face Zesco United in the Caf Champions League first-round match without their three new players.
The club's chairman Mshindo Msolla revealed on Friday the Tanzanian side will still be without their new signings Farouk Shikalo, Suleyman Mustafa and David Molinga owing to late registrations with Caf.
Mustafa joined Yanga from Aigle Noir of Burundi, Shikalo was signed from Kenyan side Bandari FC and Molinga arrived from the Democratic Republic of Congo's FC Lupopo.
“According to the directives we have received from Caf, the three players will be featured in the group stage of the competitions if we manage to see off Zesco United,” Msolla told Daily News.
