Taifa Stars captain Mbwana Samatta is set to become the first Tanzanian to play in Uefa's Champions League as his team Genk participates on Tuesday night.
The Belgian side will be away against Red Bull Salzburg in their Group E game while defending champions Liverpool play Napoli in the other match of the group.
Samatta was doubtful for the match following a knee injury sustained when his national team played Burundi in a 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifier.
The 26-year old missed Friday's league game in which his side lost 2-1 to their hosts Sporting Charleroi.
