  • Kelvin Etemesi resumes training

    Kelvin Etemesi resumes training

    For the first time in seven weeks, dependable forward Kelvin Etemesi is back in training after shaking off an illness.

    Etemesi last featured for City Stars in December in Kakamega during the historic 1-0 win over Kakamega Homeboyz.

    Unfortunately, during the festive season, he fell sick and has been out till the current week when he resumed training.

    “I have been out for a while but it has been my wish to link up with my teammates. I am now back and keen to catch up and return to the field once again,” said Etemesi

    “I want to score goals so that I can reduce the gap with the current top scorer. The league is tough but I believe with the current form of City Stars, it’s a matter of time before I get to the top,” added Etemesi

    Head coach Nicholas Muyoti is excited by Etemesi’s return to training though he intimates he needs more time;

    “It’s good to have him back after that illness that took a heavy toll on him. Now he can slowly start his journey back. We will lend him our hand and give him ample time to get back to full fitness,”

    “It’s a good idea to have him back in training. Psychologically it’s a big boost when he is around his bigger family – his teammates,” added Muyoti

    Etemesi top scored for Simba wa Nairobi last season with 12 goals, ten of them coming from a record five braces.
