Coach Zedekiah “Zico” Otieno rued the goalkeeper’s absence.
“I hope he will join us soon having in mind the matches we have on the horizon against AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia respectively,” he said. Nevertheless Otieno reiterated that he was determined to break the jinx of not beating Chemelil.
“I understand it has always been a difficult encounter for us but we are determined pick some valuable points this time round as our preparation has been good.”
