Tusker FC head coach Robert Matano has hinted that he will possibly rotate his players in the two games leading into the FKF Premier League season opener against AFC Leopards. Coincidentally, this will be the same game that opened the 2020/21 season for the two teams, with Ingwe getting the advantage over Tusker as they won 2-1 at Kasarani in November last year.Tusker are set to play the return leg against Arta Solar 7 of Djibouti at Nyayo National Stadium tomorrow afternoon before meeting with Gor Mahia in the Super Cup on Wednesday in yet another crucial game for the champions.⚽ FKF Super Cup 🔥@tusker_fc 🆚 @OfficialGMFC 📆 Wednesday Sep 22🕐 1:00 PM📺 BTV Ch. 172/463📺 Rembo TV Ch. 113/484Watch this traditional league curtain raiser LIVE & EXCLUSIVE on StarTimes. pic.twitter.com/nzR79XjUId— StarTimes Kenya (@StarTimesKE) September 17, 2021 Ahead of the two games, Matano intimates that his players have not gotten enough rest and thus he will be seeking to make changes in those games to ensure that everyone is in good shape ahead of the new campaign.”We have many players so everyone will get their chance. We cannot say that one will play three games before the season starts, the first one against Arta Solar, the second against Arta Solar in the return leg, and the third against Gor Mahia in the Super Cup on Wednesday. It will be hard, we are just starting the league and we have not rested enough so we will have to do changes from time to time so that everyone is match fit. If we focus on only 11 players in those games yet we are 30 players we will be tired early. So now we will embrace a rotational system to give some players a chance as others recover,” Matano said.@tusker_fc first five fixturesSep 26 AFC Leopards v Tusker – Nyayo StadiumOct 16 Tusker v Talanta – Kinooru Stadium, MeruOct 20 Kakamega Homeboyz v Tusker – Bukhungu StadiumOct 24 Vihiga Utd/Police v Tusker – TBC Oct 29 Tusker FC v Wazito – Kinooru Stadium #FKFPL— Greg Mulemi (@Mulemig) September 17, 2021 The game against Arta Solar is important and the Brewers need to either win by any margin or record a barren draw to continue to the second preliminary round where they could face Zamalek FFC and Matano is adamant that they will give their all against the opponent from Djibouti.After playing AFC Leopards in the opener, Tusker could find some reprieve from the international break that runs from October 4 to October 12, 2021, but will come back to play four matches in quick succession.They are scheduled to play Talanta FC, Kakamega Homeboyz, Vihiga United or Police FC, and Wazito within 15 days upon league resumption. ##EDITORS_CHOICE##
