KCB could be without captain Michael Mutinda and right-back Baraka Badi from Saturday’s league action against AFC Leopards that will be staged at the Nyayo National Stadium.The out-of-form Bankers will be seeking to return to winning ways when they take on Ingwe, who equally will be out to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to Tusker FC at the Moi International Sports Kasarani. The defeat to the Brewers brought Ingwe’s 12-match unbeaten run to a halt.Their Saturday opponents have injury worries of their own. Newly-appointed captain Mutinda, who a fortnight ago replaced stripped Simon Abuko and his assistant Baraka Badi are a doubt for the match meaning the Bankers will have to turn to other players to fill the defensive midfield and right-back positions.Michael Mutinda is the new KCB FC captain. He replaces Simon Munala who held the rank since January 2019. pic.twitter.com/xLYkdqx9Zd— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) April 14, 2022 Club assistant coach Godfrey Oduor is confident that his team will be fine without the duo that’s part of the starting XI. He added that his team’s goal is to finish in the top four positions after dropping off in the title race.“We have a pool of 30 players who compete for the first eleven, despite Badi and Mutinda missing anyone can be picked as a starter. The league is edging closer to an end and we are hopeful we are going to win the remaining matches to secure a top-four finish,” Oduor told Citizen.Ingwe on the other hand will be without Tedian Esilaba and Kacyi Odhiambo. The pair is sidelined with injuries with Odhiambo in particular expected to be sidelined for longer after picking a knee injury against Wazito FC a fortnight ago.
