AFC Leopards goalkeeper Levis Opiyo is doubtful for Sunday’s Mozzart Bet Cup round of 16 match against Murang’a Seal with a stomach infection, coach Patrick Aussems has confirmed.Opiyo missed Wednesday’s league match against Bandari with the same issue, and in his absence, youngster Maxwell Mulili started for the first time this season and kept a clean sheet. Ingwe did not have a keeper on the bench as they only have two registered goalkeepers.##NAJAVA_MECA_7142240##”It is a problem; you see, if he got injured against Bandari, we would have been forced to put a player who is not a goalkeeper in goal, but fortunately he played without an injury. It is a tough situation, but we hope to manage it until the end of the season,” the tactician told Mozzart Sport.On Opiyo’s availability for Sunday’s game, Aussems is praying for good news but hinted that it could be too soon for the former Thika United, Western Stima, Posta Rangers, Nairobi City Stars, Gor Mahia, and Wazito FC keeper to feature as he has had a bad infection that has weakened him.”He has a serious infection and he was very very weak, even to walk was a problem. With medication and rest, we hope that he will be fine for Sunday, but we will wait and see,” he said.Congratulations Eric Sikuku on winning 2 Gold medals for Kenya in the 3000M and 10km Walk at the World Masters indoor Championships in Toruń, Poland.#OursForever pic.twitter.com/jNy7z5HkUO— AFC Leopards SC (@AFCLeopards) March 31, 2023 On the positive side, the team will be boosted by the availability of Musa Oundo, who is serving a suspension in the league for a red card picked up against Posta Rangers. Victor Omune, who was away with the national team, will also return, while Saad Musa, who is also out with an infection, is equally doubtful. Lewis Bandi remains sidelined.”Musa will come back because it is a cup game and he is not locked out because of the red card. Omune too will be back, and I hope that the medical team will do a good job and that I will have more players available,” he added.The Sunday match will be played at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani.Kenyan international Collins Sichenje completes loan move to Finnish side Kuopion Palloseura
