Despite the worry of players losing the needed match fitness with games temporarily stopped across the country, the head coach allayed those fears as he said the record Kenyan champions have been busy holding friendly fixtures to overcome the challenge.”I do not think the break will have any effect on the team. We have been focusing on our business by playing friendly matches. We had one on Wednesday and we are hopefully going to play a couple more over the weekend in Kisumu. The players are in good shape and they look sharp to be fair to them. I am not too disturbed by the delay. It actually probably gives us more time to prepare because then I do not have the interference of that Wazito league game in between. We have gotten on with our job together with the players because the recent happenings are nothing we can control, so there is no need worrying about it,” Harrison told Mozzart Sport.Gor Mahia cleared to use Nyayo for CAF CC, Tusker still waitingHeading into the clash that takes place on Saturday 28 November, Harrison expressed hope in getting a good result in the first leg before returning to get the job done on home soil where the team has now been given clearance to play the match at the Nyayo National Stadium.”Our focus and priority is just on the game in Congo. I am looking forward to the first leg and I am hoping we can get something there, a good result, and hopefully come and finish the job here at home,” the head coach remarked.
