FKF Premier League side, Vihiga United are irked by Tusker FC’s decision to recruit two of their key players behind their back ahead of the playoff matches that will determine if they remain in the FKF Premier League or they go down.Midfielders Stewart Omondi and Lawrence Luvanda who were key in helping the team avoid outright relegation have been training with Tusker and even featured in a friendly match against Harambee Stars on Saturday afternoon.United are disturbed by the fact that Tusker did not contact the club before the players trained with them and wants the players available for the playoff against the team that will finish third in the National Super League. “Tusker should let the players play the playoff matches and after that, they can come for them. We can only negotiate after that. You can’t take our best players ahead of very important assignments, it’s definitely killing the team. We do not have a problem with letting players leave because we can always replace them. The two players were not even playing much when they joined the team in May and we can always replace them but first, they should ensure that the team survives before going, “assistant coach Samuel Twago told Mozzart Sport.Henry Meja,Lewis BandaLawrence LuvandaFrank OdhiamboSylvester OwinoRodgers OumaAmbrose Sifuna have been nominated for the young player of the #FKFPL season award.Who deserves it the most?#TheGamePlan pic.twitter.com/ivi3qy2s25— Carol Radull (@CarolRadull) August 30, 2021 He added that the pair’s absence will hurt the team in the playoffs.”We trained for two days last week and we were set to resume this week in readiness for the playoff only to be told that two of my players are in Nairobi training with Tusker FC. It definitely hurts our plans because in as much they are young, they have been key players for us and they should be here preparing for the playoff and not training with another team without our permission,” he added.Vihiga will learn of their playoff opponent over the weekend as curtains draw on the National Super League (NSL). ##EDITORS_CHOICE##
