Blow for Yanga SC with injured Niyonzima set to miss derby against Simba SC

The Jangwani Street-based giants will have to do without the influential star when they face their rivals in the domestic Cup

Young Africans (Yanga SC) have suffered a huge blow with midfielder Haruna Niyonzima ruled out of their FA Cup semi-finals clash against Simba SC on Sunday.

The Rwandan international started in the Mainland Premier League match against Biashara United at Karume Stadium in Musoma but was stretchered off with only ten minutes played after a bad tackle in the contest which eventually ended 0-0.

Yanga coach Luc Eymael has now told Goal he will have to do without the influential player when they lock horns against rivals Simba in a Kariokoo derby set for the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
