Tusker skipper, Asike resumes training after three weeks of layoff

Title-winning Tusker head coach Robert Matano is certainly an happy man following the timely return of his skipper Eugene Asike from injury suffered while in action against Vihiga Bullets. Asike suffered a nose injury last month and was subsequently ruled out for a month but the burly centre has resumed light training ahead of schedule and could be available for selection in the coming weeks.”After three weeks, the skipper is back in training, one week ahead of his minimum scheduled return,” the club confirmed.💪| Look who’s back!After three weeks, the skipper is back in training, one week ahead of his minimum scheduled return. pic.twitter.com/VSVAbYzgve— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) February 11, 2022 The availability of the defender comes at a time when the reigning champions appear to be gathering steam after a rather slow start of life in the season. Tusker haven’t lost in the last four outings, a run which has seen them reduce the gap between them and league toppers Kakamega Homeboyz to eight points going into this weekend’s fixtures. During the time the former Sofapaka man was sidelined, Matano picked his centre back pairing from Charles Momanyi, Kalos Kirenge and Christopher Oruchum with the latter and Momanyi featuring in almost all matches.The brewers who still a number of players who are nursing long term injuries among them is Vincent Ngesa and Teddy Osok are set to take on Ulinzi Stars on Saturday.
