Ulinzi Stars to miss two key players vs Sofapaka

Ulinzi Stars head coach Benjamin Nyangweso will be without two defenders for their Kenyan Premier League (KPL) match against Sofapaka on Saturday.

Defenders Brian Birgen and Omar Mbongi will miss Ulinzi Stars' first home match of the season, with the latter set to return to training on Thursday after recovering from a shin injury which locked him out of the opening match against Kisumu All-Stars.

Team Doctor John Imboywa confirmed it would be too early for Birgen to be involved on Saturday after suffering an injury during August's East African Military Games in Kasarani.
