Nicholas Kipkirui was missing from Gor Mahia's 18-man squad that left the country for Algeria to play CR Belouizdad in the second preliminary round of the Caf Champions League.
It raised eyebrows considering the fact he played a crucial role in helping K'Ogalo to advance. Specifically, he scored the goal that took K'Ogalo to the next round of the competition at the expense of APR Rwanda.
"Kipkirui is in a good condition and he has not been left out because of injury," a source close to the club told Goal on Friday.
