Tusker FC have been dealt a shot in the arm with the return of two of their players in Patrick Matasi and Kalos Kirenge, both coming back after recuperating from illness.Matasi last featured for the Brewers in their 4-1 win at home against Mathare United in the last game of 2021, while Kirenge featured last a week earlier in the 1-0 loss to Kakamega Homeboyz at Bukhungu Stadium.👌| The boys intensified work at Ruaraka this morning ahead of our next game on Sunday against Nairobi City Stars.#KenyaMilele #Brewers4Life pic.twitter.com/Do2wdN4XPi— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) January 13, 2022 The club confirmed that the pair had resumed full training, leaving a possibility that perhaps they could be up for selection over the weekend when Tusker face-off with Nairobi City Stars.”Matasi and Kirenge have both returned to full training after recovering from illness,” the club posted.The return of the duo will come as a big boost for coach Robert Matano as it will add competitiveness to his star-studded squad that saw Brian Bwire slot back with ease in goal in the absence of the experienced Matasi.With Kirenge out, Matano reverted to using two central defenders and went for the regular Christopher Oruchum and Eugene Asike, and it will be interesting to see how he assembles his squad when the Tanzanian returns.💪| Matasi and Kirenge have both returned to full training after recovering from illness. pic.twitter.com/spPrhcWuxc— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) January 13, 2022 Tusker have had a bad start to their title defense, losing five of their first 11 matches which has left them rooted in the bottom half of the table at 11.Matano’s charges will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways in the next game after falling to Posta Rangers in their most recent game by a solitary goal at Thika Stadium.A tantalizing fixture is on the card this coming Sunday when Tusker host City Stars, a team that collected four points last season even as the Brewers went on to claim the championship.
