Two players will miss Round 23 of the FKFPL for their respective teams after being suspended for accumulating five yellow cards this season.AFC Leopards Collins Shichenje picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the catch-up match against Mathare United on Wednesday and is set to miss the clash against Wazito FC on Sunday.Kakamega Homeboyz will also miss the services of Francis Omondi, who has also received five bookings this season when they face off with KCB at Nakuru on Saturday.🟢16’| Yellow card @AFCLeopards Shichenje is booked..He will miss the next match for 5 accumulative Yellows.Mathare 0-0 AFC#BKPLLigiYetu #BKPL pic.twitter.com/WwAH4LoceP— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) June 23, 2021 A total of 16 players are on 4 yellow cards and 14 of them risk missing their respective round 23 if they receive a booking this weekend.With sight on the top spot on June 30, KCB will want to do all they can to make sure that they have a full house for their match in Round 24. Their duo of defender David Owino and midfielder Vincent Wasambo are on the verge of suspension and it would be such a big blow for the team if they get booked against Homeboyz as they seek to dislodge Tusker from the top spot. Already, they are missing on the services of Michael Mutinda in midfield on injury and will not fancy losing yet another player.Tusker will be lucky to go into the Round of 24 without any suspensions as they do not have a match this weekend. Therefore, their duo of Kevin Monyi and Hashim Sempala who are on four yellow cards will all be eligible for that round.Resurgent Gor Mahia risk on losing Geoffrey Ochieng if he gets booked against Western Stima and it would be a blow as they battle for the top spot having in mind how efficient he has been in K’Ogalo’s defense while operating as a wingback.🟢 | 65′ Yellow card for Geoffrey Ochieng Gor Mahia 0 Wazito FC 0#BKPLLigiYetu#BKPL pic.twitter.com/CzSqroRxJO— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) June 23, 2021 The clash pitting Sofapaka and Ulinzi Stars will have four players in the spotlight, each team two.
