The Burundian coach explains the absence of the pair but promises to consider them for future assignments
Tanzania coach Etienne Ndayiragije has for the first time spoken out about the future of the two key players who were not included in the team recently.
The Burundian tactician said goalkeeper Aishi Manula and right wing-back cum midfielder Shomari Kapombe are still needed and their contributions were vital to the team.
Ndayiragije, who recently guided Tanzania into second Africa Nations Championships (Chan) finals to be held next year in Cameroon, cleared the air on the issue of Manula’s chances of returning to national team colours.
