He joins Nicholas Kipkirui – who has not been involved much largely due to family issues as he also missed a Caf Champions League tie against CR Belouizdad, Benson Omalla, Jules Ulimwegu – who scored two consecutive goals against Ulinzi Stars and Tusker, and Tito Okello, who earned a brace against Western Stima recently.
Gor Mahia are likely to face a tough Premier League title defence given that they have lost three games; a 2-1 loss against Tusker, a 4-3 outcome against Kariobangi Sharks and a surprising 1-0 loss to struggling Vihiga United.
In the last three matches, however, they have managed to score nine goals - against Mathare United, Western Stima and Zoo FC.

What are the factors that led to their downfall? Goal Kenya. Technical bench inconsistencies
Recently, Gor Mahia have been changing coaches almost every season regardless of their success on the pitch and Steven Polack left the Kenyan champions at the end of the abandoned 2019/20 season.
They eventually settled for Roberto Oliveira as his successor, who was dismissed for failing to get accreditation from the Confederation of African Football. Posta Rangers Sammy Omollo had to come in as stand-in coach and Patrick Odhiambo has been serving on an interim basis - as a result, the players are tactically confused.
