TP Mazembe forwards Tresor Mputu and Ben Malango in fitness race ahead of trip to Simba

TP Mazembe are hoping for the recovery of strikers Tresor Mputu and Ben Malango in time to face Simba in Saturday’s Caf Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Veteran forward Mputu is recovering from malaria while Malango is injured.

Mputu featured in last weekend’s league match against Saint Eloi Lupopo, which Mazembe lost 1-0.

“This Tuesday, the team will have two training sessions before the next day's trip. Sessions which, hopefully, will have Ben Malango participating as he is recovering from injury as well as Tresor Mputu who has been getting treatment for malaria since Monday,” said the club on their website.
