Entry of striker Nicholas Kipkirui and utility back Edwin Buliba are the two changes from the squad that lost 2-1 to Kariobangi Sharks on Saturday 4 December ahead of FKF Premier League round eight against Nzoia Sugar in Ruaraka on Wednesday 8 December 2021 starting 1 pm.
Kipkirui returns after missing the last two games against Vihiga Bullets and Kariobangi Sharks while Buliba makes a swift return after sitting out the Saturday game.
While Kipkirui takes the place of his former teammate at Zoo FC Michael Madoya, Buliba takes up the spot of flyer Rodgers Okuse Okumu.
From the squad that last faced Nzoia Sugar in late June in Narok, changes are six in total.
Bolton Omwenga, a starter then, is no longer part of the establishment while stopper Wycliffe Otieno and Erick Ombija who both came on as subs are out injured.
Okuse, a substitute then and scorer of the lone winning goal then – that handed City Stars an unprecedented fifth straight premier league win – is out and so are Gambian hitman Ebrima Sanneh and Elvis Noor Ojiambo who were unused in Narok.
