After nearly a month on the sidelines, Ulinzi Stars attacking midfielder Yakeen Muteheli is back and ready to help his team push for the Mozzart Bet Cup title.
The former Vickers playmaker is determined to make an impact as the team eyes silverware and a potential ticket to continental football, and expressed his appreciation for the club’s support during his rehabilitation.

“I want to thank the club for helping me recover well through the rehabilitation process. I’ve now fully recovered, and I feel fit and ready for the matches ahead. The goal is to push the team to a better position,” he said.
Having missed several crucial games, the midfielder acknowledges that he is still working on regaining his sharpness. However, he is committed to putting in the extra effort to match his teammates’ intensity.
“I know my fitness levels aren’t at the same level as my teammates after being out injured, but with the little time we have, I’m pushing hard to get back to my best. I also appreciate the coach for guiding me through the recovery process. Soon, I’ll be back in top form,” he added.
With Ulinzi Stars still in contention for the Mozzart Bet Cup and set to face Bidco United in the round of 16, the former Lirhembe Arsenal man believes the squad has what it takes to go all the way to qualifying for the CAF Confederations Cup.
“I’m grateful to my teammates; they have been doing well even while I was out injured. The performance levels have remained high, and our focus now is on winning the Cup title. Everyone is fighting for that because we all want to play continental football. It’s a dream for every player, and we will give our best to make it happen,” he concluded.
With Muteheli back in action, Ulinzi Stars will be looking to build momentum as they continue their campaign for the Mozzart Bet Cup and push to finish in a better position in the FKF Premier League.
