Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>APR FC will be without five key players when they face Rutsiro FC in the Rwanda Premier League on Saturday, November 1, at Umuganda Stadium in Rubavu.<\/p>\n

The defending champions continue their preparations for the game but will once again line up without several regular starters due to injuries, suspensions, and disciplinary reasons.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Ronald Ssekiganda will miss the match after receiving two yellow cards in APR\u2019s goalless draw against Kiyovu Sports.<\/p>\n

Striker Memel Dao, who sustained an injury during APR\u2019s 1-0 victory over Mukura VS, remains sidelined and is expected to be out for at least three more weeks as he continues recovery under medical supervision.<\/p>\n

Forward Djibril Ouattara, injured during the CECAFA Kagame Cup, has been advised by the medical team to rest and is expected to return after the international break.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mamadou Sy and Seidu Dauda have both been handed one-month suspensions by the club\u2019s management and coaching staff for disciplinary reasons. The pair have apologised, and a final decision regarding their future is expected in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The military side currently sits fifth in the standings with nine points from three matches, despite having played two games fewer than the other teams in the top five.<\/p>\n
