It was a cut on the mouth that required stitches but he is okay now. His return is definitely a big boost for us because he is a good player, our first choice keeper. But in his absence Steve (Otieno) and Elix (Otieno) deputized well and I was satisfied with their performance,” he told Mozzart Sport.Mwalala remains positive that his team will soon return to winning ways. After the draw against Nzoia on Sunday, the tactician backed his team to come out of the rough patch.“In the 17 games we have played, we were using a lot of energy, every team in every league usually has a bad run and I think it will come to pass. We are however lucky that even in the bad run we have not suffered defeat, we have been drawing and I’m thankful for the point against Nzoia,’ he stated.Homeboyz lead the log with 34 points from 17 matches.
