Tanzanian coach Juma Mgunda has revealed the reason why he had to leave out veteran keeper Juma Kaseja from the squad for the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in Uganda.
Kaseja was the surprise omission from the Taifa Stars squad which has already landed in Kampala for the two-week regional tournament.
Mgunda now says he axed Kaseja because he was not 100 percent fit and he needs immediate medication ahead of upcoming major competitions.

“Kaseja has a leg injury which compelled our doctors to give him time to undergo a medical checkup to know how serious the injury is and I hope on Monday, he is going to have that checkup,” Mgunda is quoted by Daily News.
