Cecafa Cup: Zanzibar boosted as Hilika returns to face Kenya

Zanzibar have received a major boost with the return of striker Ibrahim Hilika ahead of their Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup match against Kenya.

Hilika was shown a straight red against Sudan in the match that ended 1-1 and it is his return which has elated coach Hemed Morocco going into the final group match against Kenya.
