AFC Leopards have been handed a big boost ahead of Sunday’s league match against Kakamega Homeboyz in Kakamega, with three players set to return from suspension and injury.Ingwe, who already have a thin squad due to a FIFA transfer ban slapped on the club by the world football governing body, have in recent weeks been rocked by injuries, particularly at the back, and they have had to work with makeshift and fringe players.##NAJAVA_MECA_7180179##On Thursday against FC Talanta, they missed a number of key players due to injury and suspension. Tedian Esilaba, Lewis Bandi, Kayci Odhiambo, Levis Opiyo, and Collins Shivachi all sat out the Nyayo National Stadium clash that ended in a barren stalemate.Three of the five are now set to be available for the Ingo Derby scheduled for Sunday. Opiyo and Shivachi, who were suspended after accumulating five yellow cards, are now available for selection after serving the one-match suspension. Odhiambo, who has struggled with injuries this campaign, has managed to shake off his latest setback and will be in Bukhungu with the rest of the squad.This has been confirmed by coach Patrick Aussems, who bemoaned the injuries for derailing an already disadvantaged squad.”We will have Opiyo, Kayci, and Shivachi back, and with that, I hope we will have a competitive team for the Homeboyz match. We already have a thin squad, and losing more players to injury is not ideal, but it is a problem that we have to learn how to handle,” he said.On the barren draw against Talanta, the tactician appeared to chide their opponents for coming to play for a draw.”They came to play for a point, and they got it, so it is a good point for them. We tried to win the game, particularly in the second half, but we did not make use of some of the opportunities we made, but generally, I am happy with the performance of my boys,” he added.Koko asks fans to rally behind the team as they seek to rebound from slight blip
