Gor Mahia is bracing itself for a crucial fight against Algerian Side Hussein Dey in the CAF Confederations Cup this Sunday at the Moi International Sports Complex Kasarani.
Gor Mahia’s preparations have however not been short of challenges as it is now emerging that Joash Onyango will sit out of Gor’s next CAF assignment.
The burly defender is set to miss the clash at the Kasarani Stadium owing to suspension. Gor Mahia CEO Omondi Aduda has confirmed to Goal the latest development.
“Joash Onyango is suspended for accumulative yellow cards and will thus not be involved but the rest of the squad remains the same. We appeal for fans to turn out in large numbers and support the team.”
However, the Kenyan champions will welcome back four players when they take on the Algeria in their third Group D match. K’Ogalo will be boosted with the return of lead strikers Jacques Tuyisenge and Dennis Oliech, defensive midfielder Ernest Wendo and right back Philemon Otieno. The Rwandan star was serving suspension alongside Otieno while Oliech and Wendo were out injured.
Gor Mahia will be under pressure to get a win at home after losing 2-1 to Petro Atletico of Angola in their second Group D match. Hussein Dey, on the other hand, picked their fourth point in a 1-1 draw against Zamalek that left them at top in the Group D.
