THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT We will be HOSTING Bidco United in our next FKF-PL fixtureDate and venue to be announced #Betsafe #OursForever #YaMatere pic.twitter.com/7ueUbyQAQ3— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) January 24, 2022 Aussems noted that he has had to overutilize 13 players in the squad with the limited experienced options but the whole squad will now recuperate. “We have usually played with 12 or 13 players mostly this season so it’s time to think about a rest because it’s always the same players in the pitch,” added Aussems.
