The entry of defender Edwin Buliba and midfielder Vincent Owino for the upcoming FKF Premier league matchday nine against Tusker FC in Machakos on Saturday, 23 November, 2024, starting at 1pm, are the most notable changes from the squad that last played Shabana a fortnight ago.
Buliba and Owino made the smaller 18-man squad for the upcoming game that saw a total o four players drop out rom the expanded 20-man squad in the last trip to Shabana in Kisii.
Buliba returned to the backline that sees centre back Brian Opinde and let back Rogers Wasega drop out, as Owino enters a midfield that sees midfielder James Ssemambo, and flyer Gilbert Abala miss out.
Owino missed Simba wa Nairobi’s last two wins over Gor Mahia and Shabana as he was representing Kenya in the preliminary round of the African Nation Championship qualifiers against South Sudan.
