Simba SC will face Mbeya City without their lead scorer Meddie Kagere in Sunday's Vodacom Premier League (VPL) match against Mbeya City at the Uhuru National Stadium.
Kagere, who has scored seven goals and is the leading striker for the Dar es Salaam club, is set to miss their showdown as he is serving a one-match ban.
It is a big miss for coach Patrick Aussems whose side faltered against Mwadui FC in their mid-week clash at Kambarage Stadium in Shinyanga.
Kagere played the previous seven matches and has been key in Simba's exploits so far, which see them sit at the top of VPL table with 18 points.
