As AFC Leopards prepare to tackle Gor Mahia FC, captain Duncan Otieno will miss the clash as he has  accumulated yellow cards hit five that have ruled him out of the clash set for Moi International Sports Center Kasarani on Sunday

In Otieno’s absence, new signings Said Tsuma, Edwin Seda are likely to to be called by head coach Rodolfo Zapata to fill the void. Bandari’s defender Fred Nkata will also miss the action this weekend as he has picked a  maximum five yellow cards so far. His latest coincidentally comes from their recent barren stalemate against Leopards in Machakos.

Despite making a mid-season switch to Vihiga United in the June transfer period, Stephen Wakanya it seems came with a number of bookings and the latest one from his debut against Ulinzi Stars means United will not be able to parade him for their next league encounter.

A mid-season loot from Nzoia Sugar FC, will, therefore, be missing in action when Vihiga United seeks a win against AFC Leopards on 29th July.

Hashim Ssempala suffers the heaviest blow from the suspension list with a two-match ban for a red card hence Tusker will not have him when they play Sofapaka in round 24 and Kakamega Homeboyz in round 25.
