Ulinzi Stars have received a huge injury boost ahead of their away match to Kakamega Homeboyz at Bukhungu Stadium this weekend following the timely return of Bonventure Muchika.Muchika missed the win over Posta Rangers due to a knock he picked in the 3-2 loss to Kariobangi Sharks at the Kasarani Annex the previous weekend.He was withdrawn after only 24 minutes in the game, paving way for Francis Omondi to play as a makeshift defender in the absence of a like-for-like player to take his place as the Soldiers went on to concede three goals in quick succession in the first half of that game.@UlinziStarsFC Bonventure Michika opens his bag of tricks.

Our combative and hard-tackling Defender Bonventure Muchika is back with the squad after picking a knock during our League encounter with Kariobangi Sharks. Welcome back, Muchika,” the club confirmed the return of the defender via their social accounts.It remains to be seen whether Muchika will have his place ready for him over the weekend or Mwalala will opt to continue the Andayi-Wafula partnership in the match at Bukhungu.#KnowYourPlayerName: Bonaventure Muchika MuchikaNickname: NjonjoPosition: Center-backStronger foot: RightFavorite food: PilauSquad number: 12Joined Ulinzi Stars: 2019Former team(s): Kakoi Youth Club, Muhoroni Youth, Tusker FC#GBUS#WeSoldierOn pic.twitter.com/j1Fv0jXi4n— Ulinzi Stars FC (@UlinziStarsFC) April 7, 2020 The four-time Kenyan champions have also seen the midfield duo of Churchill Muloma and Daniel Waweru return to training, both of them having missed the opening three matches of the season.The experience of Muloma and Waweru could come in handy for the Soldiers who have not been at their best in the middle of the park, provided they are at their best as well.
