Coach Ndayiragije drops four players for Tanzania's World Cup qualifier against Burundi

Taifa Stars interim coach Etienne Ndayiragije has dropped four players from their final squad which will travel to Burundi for the preliminary Fifa World Cup qualifier against the hosts.

Kelvin John of Serengeti Boys, Polisi Tanzania's Baraka Majogoro, Shaaban Chilunda of Azam, and Boniface Maganga of KMC have been left at home by the tactician.

Chilunda has been nursing an ankle injury which contributed to his exclusion from the national team. The four players will remain in camp to prepare for the second leg on Sunday.

Team captain Mbwana Samatta has already landed in Burundi alongside Adi Yusuf, Simon Msuva and Hassan Key for the game on Wednesday.
