You know, last week, young Caleb stepped into the goal and performed admirably. After a month away from training, Gad Mathews is now back with the team. So, he’ll be in contention for that position as well,” McKinstry remarked.Gad underwent a minor surgery earlier in the season, sidelining him for months and providing Omondi the opportunity to cement his position as the starting goalkeeper.Meanwhile, the gaffer revealed that youngster Bryson Wangai is in shape to start at the left-back position after Geoffrey Onyango sustained an injury during the Mashemeji derby.“We have got good options on the left; the young Bryson is a left-back by trait, though the supporters have seen him break into the team as a left-forward, so we know he will slot back with Onyango out and do very well,” said the former Uganda Cranes gaffer.Kenyan youngster beaming with excitement after graduating from Nastic AcademySimultaneously, the coach made clear his intentions of pursuing maximum points aggressively, fully aware that four victories would secure K’Ogalo a record-extending 21st Football Kenya Federation Premier League title.
