Defender Erasto Nyoni has failed to travel with Kilimanjaro Stars to Nairobi yesterday following a serious shoulder injury he sustained on Wednesday.
Nyoni suffered the injury during the last training session on Wednesday and was rushed to Temeke Hospital for treatment.
Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) secretary general Frederick Mwakalebela named Stephano Mwasika as his replacement.
Kill Stars left for Nairobi yesterday with two goalkeepers Mwarami Mohamed and Shaaban Kado following the last minute eviction of Shaaban Dihile.
However, soccer fans will have something to brag about when Henry Joseph who trades his skills at Kongsvinger of Norway arrived on Tuesday was in the squad yesterday.
"I will fight hard for my country to prove that I am still worth to serve my nation," said Joseph.
Kilimanjaro will play their opener against defending champions Uganda on Sunday in the Western Province of Kenya, Mumias.
The players who left yesterday included Shadrack Nsajigwa, Erasto Nyoni, Juma Jabu, Kelvin Yondani, Juma Nyoso, David Naftali and Salum Swed.
The list also includes; Shaaban Nditi, Ibrahim Mwaipopo, Nurdin Bakari, Mwinyi Kazimoto, Kigi Makasy, Mrisho Ngassa, Jerry Tegete, Mussa Hassan, John Boko and Danny Mrwanda.
