Ivorian attacking midfielder Pacôme Zouzoua, who plays for Young Africans SC of Tanzania, will be sidelined for a few days due to an Achilles tendon injury.

This is a severe blow for Zouzoua and Yanga which rely heavily on the former ASEC Mimosas player. The 27-year-old Ivorian midfielder, who was injured last Wednesday against Azam FC in the NBC Premier League, will be out for 10 to 14 days.

In this match, Yanga SC won 2-1 away to Azam FC in the 26th matchday of the Tanzanian Premier League. The winning goals were scored by Zouzoua and Zimbabwean striker Prince Dube.

Zouzoua, who arrived in July 2023, extended his contract with Young Africans SC by two years last December and has ten goals in league play this season. This new contract marks a significant improvement in his income, reflecting his importance within the team.
