Tanzania captain Mbwana Samatta is doubtful to face Tunisia in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday.
According to reports from Istanbul where Taifa Stars are camping for the first meeting between the two sides this week, Samatta, who turns out for Fenerbahce, suffered an injury during the team’s last league match and will not be fit to represent his country.
The reports have further indicated Samatta could also miss the reverse fixture between the two sides set for Dar es Salaam on November 17.
