Struggling National Super League side Mara Sugar have been handed a major boost after first-choice keeper Fredrick Munyendo returned to training.The experienced custodian has been out for the last two weeks, a period that has coincided with the team’s poor run in the second tier. They have since dropped to third last in the log and are at the risk of heading to the foot of the log if their fortunes do not change for the better in the next few weeks. They have amassed 13 points, three more than bottom-placed Mwatate United.Mara Sugar FC promoted to the National Super League after winning the FKF División One Zone B League.#NSL pic.twitter.com/nJ3pMe3lJB— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) October 10, 2021 They have been handed a boost with Munyendo’s return to the training ground and the keeper could be available for selection on Saturday against relegation battling Migori Youth FC.“Fredrick Munyendo has resumed training after recovering from a knee injury.
