Despite missing the services of their left-back Hillary Munishi and playing what would have been a home match away, Shabana head coach Robert Ojienda says his players are braced up to end their two-match winless run when they confront Kisumu Hotstars at Narok Stadium on Saturday.Shabana who are yearning for one of two automatic promotion slots will miss Munishi who picked what appeared to be a serious injury during their two all draw with Mt. Kenya United in their last match.The former giants have scooped a point out of a possible six in their last two outings losing ground in their quest to gain promotion but Ojienda believes they have no excuses to register unwanted results again, the absence of Munishi and playing away notwithstanding.”We can’t afford to lose again even if we are missing a key player and playing a home match away. The boys are ready to go back to winning ways and return to the top three,” he said.Enkakenya sidai Narok? Matchday: ✅ ✊ LET’S GO!
