Active players should find time and jump on these classes to open up the path to a smooth transition to the technical bench once their career comes to an end,” he said as quoted on the club’s website.The former Sofapaka FC midfielder has been out of action for the club’s last six matches since picking an injury in January in the 1-0 win over Mathare United.##NAJAVA_MECA_7069094##He missed the 1-0 win over Wazito, the losses to Bandari, Gor Mahia, Kenya Police, Ulinzi Stars, and the barren draw against Kakamega Homeboyz on the road but he has since shaken off the injury and could be set to return in midweek when the second leg of the campaign kicks off.At the end of the first leg, Nairo City Stars found themselves in the relegation zone at 16th on the log with just 12 points from 17 matches and they will be hoping to salvage their campaign in the second leg to avoid relegation.
