Gor Mahia resume their 2018-2019 KPL campaign at Kasarani on Wednesday. They take on Mount Kenya FC. Its an opportunity for Gor Mahia to move further up the standings and close the distance between them and league leaders Mathare United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gor Mahia will be without the towering Humphrey Mieno who has joined Ethiopian side St Georges. He joins Patrick Matasi who joined St Georges earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, coach Oktay says that injuries will only compound matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not easy playing every other day. Fatigue and injuries are cropping in but we have to keep working,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dennis Oliech caused a sensation when he scored his first goal last week. He will likely be in the starting line-up again. An attacking combination featuring the in-form Tuyisenge with Oliech could be one to watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harun Shakava will likely return to the starting line-up after missing the continental encounter due to suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are playing a team that has not won this season therefore we expect a tough match this afternoon. Players are motivated and ready to be given another chance to show what they\u2019ve. We want three points at all cost,\u201d said Shakava to the Nation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Gor Mahia ace Moses Odhiambo who now plays for Mount Kenya is says his side will not be intimidated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a match like any other, there\u2019s no special training for it,\u201d said the player popularly known as ‘Dube”.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On paper it should be an easy match. Mount Kenya are at the bottom of the table with 2 points from 7 matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mount Kenya united was formed by businessman Francis Mureithi after he purchased the rights to Nakumatt FC and renamed the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gor Mahia face CAF disciplinary action<\/h3>\n

Reporting from goal.com
K\u2019Ogalo have now been fined Sh1m by the Caf Disciplinary Board after some of their key players were involved in indiscipline acts<\/p>\n

Gor Mahia have been dealt a big blow after Caf issued sanctions on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Kenyan champions have been fined Sh1milion by Caf with key players Harun Shakava and Joash Onyango \u2013 set to miss the next two Caf matches for alleged indiscipline behaviour during their match against Lobi Stars in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Captain Harun Shakava was involved in a brawl with the opponents\u2019 custodian, with his partner Joash Onyango also reportedly abusing the referee. As a result, the two have been suspended for two more Caf matches.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, club’s deputy secretary General Ronald Ngala says they had anticipated for that and it should act as a lesson to the players. \u201cAfter they missed last weekend, we anticipated for a tougher action and had been prepared for that.

\u201cHowever, the fine is too much for the club, we will not appeal the decision by Caf though. It is a wake-up call for our players, they should also learn to behave better in these matches next time,\u201d Ngala told Goal.com.<\/p>\n

This means both Shakava and Onyango will not be in the team to face New Star of Cameroon in the return leg of the Caf Confederation Cup on Sunday.<\/p>\n

K\u2019Ogalo are carrying a 2-1 advantage going into the fixture and will reach the group stages of the competition for the second season in a row, if they manage a win or a draw of any kind.<\/p>
