They are all very good players and that is the reason we send them out. They are good players, we have nurtured them well and we are confident that finally they will find their way to Europe where we want them to play eventually. We cannot reveal where they are right now , we will do that another time,” he told Mozzart Sport.The former AFC Leopards midfielder does not believe that the team will be hurt by the four players’ absence.“We played over the weekend without them and won in Bomet. We have a squad of 30 talented players and I do not think that missing four players should be a problem for us. The available players will step up and fill that void, I do not think that we will have any problems,” he added.Elite are currently 8th in the National Super League log with 37 points. Next for them is an away game against APS Bomet.
