will make do without the services of defensive lynchpin Maurice Ojwang for the crunch Football Kenya Federation Premier League high-octane match against .

The absence of Ojwang is a big blow to the and KCB coach Patrick Odhiambo acknowledges the tough task awaiting his charges at the SportPesa Arena in Murang’a County.

Michael Olunga has risen from humble beginnings to become Kenya’s highest-earning footballer, securing lucrative contracts across Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Odhiambo has warned his players not to rest on their laurels during the highly anticipated fixture. He has urged the boys to be clinical in front of goal to secure the three vital points.

“AFC Leopards is a top side. We all know their capability and we do not doubt it, so we have to be on top of our game to register the maximum points. Of course we have to keep winning games to ensure that we remain top and probably clinch the title at the end of the season,” Odhiambo said.

Kenyan international Haniff Wesonga is expected to miss the clash after picking up a knee injury and is set to be replaced by the ever-reliable Francis Oduor at the heart of the defence. Maurice Ojwang is out on suspension after collecting 5 yellow cards.

The former Kenyan international has given reasons why he feels the Bafana Bafana legend could have it rough with the Kenya national team.

The team’s top scorer Francis Kahiro will pair up with Philemon Nyakwakwa upfront while James Kinyanjui and Stephen Etyang will start on the flanks. Inform midfielder Michael Mutinda will start alongside Farraj Ominde in the midfield.

“I am happy because we are regaining our confidence. If you look at how we are training, the boys are showcasing a strong desire to keep winning games. Everyone is working so hard to ensure that we position this club as one of the best in the league,” said captain Michael Mutinda.

The bankers started the season strongly but their performances have waned lately. KCB have won just two of their last eight matches with five draws and one defeat relegating the bankers to third position in the 18-team league.

Ingwe on the other hand have won three of their last seven matches but the against Talanta last weekend would probably force Bonface Ambani to and freshen up his squad in their quest to return to winning ways.
