Mwalimu (Bernard), and Anami are both injured and their absence was felt in the game because on a normal day they are both are starters. I had to field the new players that we signed who are majorly youngsters with no league experience but I think that they did well under prevailing circumstances. Anami and Wanguche should be back soon and I think that will be a big boost for us,” he told Mozzart Sport.Reflecting on the game, Iswekha admitted that his team struggled in the match, especially in the first stanza. He also admitted that the Salim Babu led team is a well-oiled arsenal.FT| It ends with a draw here at Kericho Green StadiumZoo 1-1 Kisumu All Stars#fcukzoo— Zoo FC (@zoofootballclub) November 6, 2021 “We did not play well especially in the first half and I think being out of action for a long played part in it. We struggled much in the first half but after the halftime break, we improved, got a goal before they equalized. All-Stars are a good side and I can’t really complain much over the fact that we did not win,” he added.Next for the former FKF PL side is an away game against MCF.
