The Students Club received a significant morale boost ahead of the anticipated match against Al-Shorta Club in the quarter-finals of the Iraq Cup, with the confirmation of their Tanzanian striker Simon Musuva's readiness to participate in the awaited encounter, having fully recovered from the injury that kept him away from the team recently.

Musuva represents an important offensive asset in coach Basim Qasim's lineup, due to his experience and ability to finish attacks, which the "Elegant" team relies heavily on in what is considered an "early final" against the champion of the Iraqi Premier League.

Musuva's return puts the coach in a comfortable offensive position, providing him with diverse options in the attacking third, especially with his great synergy with the midfield and his ability to create and exploit half-chances.
