Cranes midfielder and new signing for the Tanzania mainland Football Champions Simba Sports Club Musa Mudde has been ruled out of action for at least a month!
Mudde sustained an injury in the 81st minute of their Cecafa-Kagame quarter final match against Azam FC on Tuesday. Azam’s defender Jabir Aziz tackled Mudde from the back, leaving his left leg entangled between his two as he landed down in pain. In the process, his left ankle joint rotated in the opposite side causing a major dislocation.
The Ugandan player was taken off the pitch on a stretcher and he now walks on clutches! Simba team Doctor, Cosmos Kapinga says the player will be out of action for a minimum of four weeks. He was also quick to add that’ “the injury was an intended one from his opponent”.
“Jabir Aziz is very bad player who once played for Simba and he has since caused a lot of injuries to our camp”, said a visibly concerned medic. Kapinga said he had already advised his employers to fly Mudde back to Kampala for a rest as he obtains treatment.
On Wednesday evening, Mudde was driven from hospital to Spice Hotel in the centre of Dar es salaam City where was still accommodated by the time of writing this statement. “I feel a lot of pain, I can’t step my foot on the ground and the Doctors say I shall be out of action for some weeks. Let’s wait and see”, said Mudde who spoke with difficulty.
Simba Vice President Godfrey Kabul said the club would meet all the expenses Mudde incurs while on treatment in Kampala. Mudde joined Simba in July this year after refusing to renew his contract with Sofapaka FC in Kenya. His an unexpected injury comes in at a time when the Cranes head Coach Bobby Williamson is about to name his squad ahead of an international friendly match against The Flames of Malawi on August 15.
