Imbuye, Nyawir return to the fold as Coach Kamau rings four changes
Mathare United welcome Mara Sugar at the Kasarani Stadium today, and the team news for the 4pm kickoff has been released.
Mohammed Kilume will not be involved against the Millers as he is nursing a hamstring injury suffered in our last game against Nairobi United. It is the first time this season that the veteran midfielder will not be part of a matchday squad.
Fidel Otieno also suffered a knock to his knee against the Naibois and soldiered on, playing the entire 90 minutes. He will also not be available on Monday.
There’s some good news, though, as Braina Ouru, who also came off limping against Nairobi United, has been passed fit and maintains his position in central midfield.
John Nyawir is also back in the squad after sitting out our last game with an ankle injury.
In total, four changes have been made to the team that started our last game. Aside from Nyawir, Elli Asieche is also given the nod to start and will be looking to add to his four goals. Sammy Imbuye takes up the right side of our defence while Derrick Anami returns to lead the line.
Dennis Ng’ang’a is once again named from the bench and will be hoping to finally make his Premier League debut.
John Kamau’s men are seeking to win back-to-back matches for the first time this season.
