HIGHLANDERS coach Try Ncube says the club is waiting for a medical report to determine the extent of captain Andrew Mbeba’s injury, after the defender was forced off during the weekend fixture against Scottland.

Mbeba, who appeared to suffer an ankle injury, was substituted during the match raising concerns about his availability in the near future.

Speaking at the club’s weekly press conference on Wednesday, Ncube said only Mbeba is not available for the Triangle game on Thursday.

“We are still waiting for a report from the doctor following the scans done and then we will know the full extent of the injury.

“Mbeba will definitely be missed, but we have able replacements. We just hope the guys that will come in will step up because he is our leader.”

The injury comes at a crucial time for Bosso, who are set to face Triangle at Barbourfields Stadium on Thursday in a key midweek encounter.
