His absence will be deeply felt because he has been scoring goals for us. This has affected our preparations but we have Spencer Sautu who will take up the responsibility. Spencer is an experienced player who can deliver at any given time. I think it has been a very busy period for everyone, the players are tired and fatigued due to the number of games we have had to play in a short space. We will also be missing Kelvin Kampamba due to suspension while Kelvin Kapumbu will make a return after recovering from an injury sustained against Napsa Stars,” Lupiya said.##NAJAVA_MECA_6757502##Before returning to action earlier this month, Oburu had been on the treatment table since picking up a leg injury in March this year.Kenyan international Vincent Oburu glad to exorcize injury nightmaresHe came back against South Africa’s Royal AM, a match that resulted in them being knocked out of the CAF Confederation Cup after they were held to a one-all draw at home.Meanwhile, Lupiya is looking forward to the match against MUZA, drawing motivation from the win over the weekend.“We are coming into tomorrow’s match with a lot of motivation after Saturday’s victory. The game against Kansanshi wasn’t easy but we managed to get three points. I think we showed a lot of character after conceding. The boys are very much motivated. My focus is to make sure that the team goes to where it belongs. The MUZA game will not be easy. They have a very good young side with one or two players at U-20. I have hinted to my players to take this game seriously. We need maximum points,” he added.
