Newton Ochieng has been included in the 20-man squad to face FC Talanta during a matchday 17 FKF Premier League tie in Ruaraka on Saturday 6 January 2024 starting at 3 p.m.
Newton, aka Tony, is the only change from the one that traveled and saw off Kakamega Homeboyz 1-0 in the 2023 year-ender. He takes up the place of Kelvin Etemesi who is ill, and out of the first leg-ender.
Ochieng was last fielded in late October 2023 against Shabana in matchday seven where he picked up an injury. He returned for a matchday 13 game against Posta Rangers but sat out the last three games against Bandari, Ulinzi Stars, and Kakamega Homeboyz.
