The Head Coach Sergio Daniel Traguil caught up with this website ahead of #KCCAURA and said;
We need to show something special in this game. We know our opponents have a very young squad and have signed over 10 players but if we stick to our principles and do the things we have been doing in training all week then we shall have an edge over them. Bruno Adilson is back and he will play. We have some players like Emilson, Poloto and Juma that will miss the game but are recovering well from injury. Abu is out due to pre caution and Haruna is away due to compassionate leave.
