The two are in line for their Kenyan topflight debuts and are part of three changes made from the last squad that lost 2-0 to AFC Leopards in Bukhungu, Kakamega. The duo is joined by Newton Ochieng who took a rest from the last game.

The trio takes up the slots of skipper Calvin Masawa and Edwin Buliba who are suspended, and Mohammed Bajaber who takes a rest.
Yuto received the nod to feature in the Kenyan topflight during the current International Transfer window following the ratification of his registration by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), while the recently signed Obusu joined Simba wa Nairobi straight out of Laiser Hill Academy.
