AFC Leopards defender Kayumba goes AWOL over pay dispute - report

AFC Leopards defender Soter Kayumba has been missing from the team since they played against Gor Mahia in a Kenyan Premier League (KPL) derby.

Ingwe’s vice-captain has been missing since featuring in his team’s 4-1 defeat to the Kenyan champions in the Mashemeji derby on November 10.

Kayumba is said to have asked the club’s management for permission to go to his native Rwanda during the international break, but he never returned.

The player has since missed Leopards’ 2-2 draw away to Bandari in Mombasa on Thursday and was also not in the squad as Ingwe beat Kisumu All-Stars 1-0 on Sunday.
