INTER-Milan star Macdonald Mariga is in Rwanda for a private visit, Times Sport can reveal.

The midfielder, who this month went down in football history books as the first East African to win Europe’s top prize ‘the Uefa Champions League’, jetted in last evening.

It is said that the 23-year-old is here to watch his younger brother Thomas ‘Heskey’ Wanyama in action as Sofapaka take on Atraco in the Kagame Cup third place play-off at Amahoro stadium.

Wanyama who plays at right back for the Kenyan champions has been struggling with a thigh injury and is expected to undergo a late fitness test for the tie.

This season, Inter-Milan completed a treble after also winning the Scudetto’ and ‘Coppa Italia’ titles under Portuguese Coach Jose Mourinho who is heading to Real Madrid.
