Musanze v Muhanga
Etincelles v Military

Musanze has been rocked by injuries ahead of Sunday’s crucial Second division playoffs return leg against Muhanga at Ubworoherane stadium.

Three first team players including team captain Emmanuel Mpayimana, Bertin Ndikumana and Aphrodisi Uwimana are all serious doubts for the tie.

"We need them for this game and we shall wait up to the very last minute to know if they are fit to play,” Musanze coach Rafiki Nshiyimana stressed.

After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Nshiyimana needs his team fit and firing if the Northern Province based club is to have a good chance of playing top flight football next season.

Meanwhile, Military coach Colonel Ngaibihanye has also confirmed that his midfielders Jean Luc Ndemeye and Antoine Gakuru are likely to miss the return leg against Etincelles after suffering knocks in training. Military enjoy a 3-1 advantage from the first leg.
