Chan 2020: Injury denied me a place in Tanzania's provisional squad - Kaseja

Despite playing a critical role in Taifa Stars' successful qualifiers, the goalkeeper did not earn a call up as he was not fit

Experienced Tanzanian goalkeeper Juma Kaseja has revealed his injury denied him a chance to be summoned for the African Nations Championship (Chan) provisional team.

Kaseja has been out injured for the last three months and coach Etienne Ndayiragije had overlooked him when he called up players for both Chan and African Nations (Afcon) qualifying matches. Both events, however, were postponed due to the coronavirus fears.

Kaseja was part of the team which helped Tanzania earn a Chan slot after missing for 10 years but later got injured which made him miss both national team and club duties.
