Experienced forward Jimmy Bageya has made the cut to face Bandari FC in a third round premier league clash set for Friday 11 December 2020 at Kasarani.
Bageya missed the opening two games against Nzoia Sugar and KCB, and according to head coach Sanjin Alagic, this is why he was called in for the game;
“He has worked very hard and well in training this week and deserved to make the squad to face Bandari. He will start from the bench.” said Sanjin
He is the only addition to the 18-man squad that faced off with KCB in the last outing last.
With three goals, Bageya is City Stars top scorer against Bandari (alongside retired Arthur Museve)
Centre back Kenedy Onyango who had been ill for a few days after the KCB game was passed fit for the game.
Eric Ombija, injured in training ahead of the KCB game, and Wycliffe Otieno who picked a knock in the opener against Nzoia Sugar, will still sit out the Friday game.
