Blow for Yanga SC as defender Moro set to miss league opener

Young Africans (Yanga SC) will start the new 2020-21 Mainland Premier League season minus key defender Lamine Moro.

The Jangwani Street-based giants are keen to start the season on a flying note as they take on Tanzania Prison at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Sunday.

However, Moro, who played a key role for the team in the last campaign has revealed he will not be available for the season since doctors have advised him to wait as he recovers from an ankle injury.

“I was really willing to start the season with the rest of the squad but it will not be possible because of my health, and I have no option but to follow what my doctors are saying,” Moro is quoted by Sokaletu.
