Simba SC striker John Bocco set to return against rivals Azam FC

Simba SC have received a major boost as new striker John Bocco will play against Azam FC in a Mainland Premier League match on Wednesday.

Bocco, who also turns out for the national team Taifa Stars, has not featured in any league match for the Msimbazi Reds so far this season owing to a knee injury.

However, coach Patrick Aussems has confirmed the striker is in the squad to face rivals Azam in the top of the bill fixture.

“[Bocco] is currently training on his own and he looks sharp. I will check him again on Tuesday but there are high chances he will be involved,” Aussems told reporters from their training base at Uhuru Stadium.
