Concern as ‘Fully Fit’ Harambee Stars Winger Mo Bajaber Omitted From Simba’s Latest CAF Champions League Squad

Harambee Stars winger Mohammed Bajaber has once again been left out of Simba SC’s squad, raising fresh doubts about his standing at the Tanzanian giants despite being fully fit.

Simba on Wednesday released their travelling squad for the crucial CAF Champions League fixture against Stade Malien in Bamako on November 30—but Bajaber’s name was missing yet again. 

The winger, who joined Simba from Kenya Police FC for a reported Ksh13 million, is still waiting to make his competitive debut for the club.

Bajaber recovered from injury earlier this month, but despite expectations that he would at least make the bench for recent fixtures—including the loss to Petro Luanda—he has instead watched from the stands.

Tanzanian journalist Issac Suleiman, who has been tracking the situation, reports that despite being “fully fit”, Bajaber was once again not considered for continental duty. Unofficial indications suggest the 20-year-old could be at risk of being moved on during the January transfer window if his inactivity persists.

The timing of his exclusion is particularly striking as Simba, still buoyed by their 2025 CAF Confederation Cup final appearance, look to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Petro Luanda in their Group Stage opener.

 With experienced players like Moussa Camara and Clatous Chama expected to lead the charge in Bamako, questions continue to swirl around why the young Kenyan winger hasn’t been handed an opportunity.

Bajaber’s prolonged absence—despite being one of Simba’s notable signings of the last window—has become a growing concern for supporters in both Kenya and Tanzania. The key question remains: why is a fully fit, big-money signing unable to break into the squad?

For now, Bajaber’s situation remains one of the most puzzling storylines around Simba SC this season.
