Nyakeya and Omune were introduced just before the restart.##NAJAVA_MECA_6898909##Despite going down to the mail-men, Aussems was happy to have some experienced players back in the fold and says they made a difference when they were introduced.“It is very important to have them back, I think you saw the difference between the first and the second half. When we brought in in players with a little bit more experience we had the control of the game, the management and opportunities as well and so it is a good thing,” he stated.Seven more players remain uncleared. The seven are; Emmanuel Lwanga, Ronald Sichenje, Loren James, Victor Otieno, Aboubakar Musha, Nester Olum, and Musa Oundo. Aussems hopes to have more players available for the game against Homeboyz on Wednesday and the whole group by January.“There are seven more players that I am waiting for and I guess that everything is now okay with FIFA and the federation. I think in the next days we will have two or three more players and maybe at the start of January everyone will be able to play,” he added.Sofapaka vs AFC Leopards in not so long.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/64y9emDqGL— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) December 12, 2022 Ingwe were further handed a boost when young defender Kayci Odhiambo returned from injury. He featured against Sofapaka and Posta Rangers as a starter before being hauled off and the coach is happy to have the utility man back after seven months on the sidelines.“He is giving us stability, in the defense. He was involved in the freekick or not freekick and on the goal of Posta Rangers but the most important thing is he is coming back and he is not feeling too much pain on his knee and I think he will be well for our game on Wednesday. After that we will get more off days until January and I think he will be 100% ready then and he will be able to finish all games,” he added.Omachi eyes swift City Stars comeback from injury
