Yanga will face Simba in the Community Shield match on August 12 before taking on Namungo FC on August 15 at Majaliwa Stadium in Lindi

Tanzania international striker Mzize is among the players expected to miss the start of the league season after failing to recover in time from his injury. The forward has become a vital part of Yanga’s attacking options, offering pace, movement and a constant threat in the final third. His absence could force Mngqithi to rethink his attacking approach as the coach looks for a reliable goal scoring option while waiting for the striker’s return. Defender Dickson Job will also continue his recovery, with the centre back not expected back until late November or early December. Job’s injury leaves a significant void in Yanga’s defensive structure, considering his experience, physical strength and ability to organise the backline. Yanga information officer Ali Kamwe provided an update on the club’s injured players during an interview with U FM, revealing the progress made by Abubakar Khomeini, Job, Mzize and Pacome.
