Onyango\u2019s whereabouts remain unknown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Muguna] came to training on Tuesday but he was not involved in training,\u201d Polack told Goal. \u201cHe has explained to me the reason why he missed last week\u2019s training sessions and as a coach I am trying to analyse and see the best way we can solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor [Onyango] I have not seen him yet nor heard from him, we don\u2019t know where he is and [we] are waiting to see when he resurfaces. But for [Ojwang], he is injured and did not train so we want to give him time to respond to treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked whether Muguna will be involved when they face Daring Club Motema Pembe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the play-off of the Caf Confederation Cup, Polack responded: \u201cI don\u2019t reveal my starting eleven before matchday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Muguna] is yet to train with us and he must train to convince me he deserves a starting role in the squad. All the players I have in camp are working very hard, training hard and I can only pick my squad a day before or during matchday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On whether he will take disciplinary action against Muguna, Polack said; \u201cI have listened to his reasons why he never showed up in training and will discuss the same with the top management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot make a decision on my own but will involve the management so that we know what exactly to do. I cannot say for now whether he will be punished or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>K\u2019Ogalo will play the first leg at home on October 27 before they head away for the return leg after a fortnight.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/muguna-returns-joash-onyango-still-awol\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midfielder Kenneth Muguna has returned to the Kogalo training camp as the club prepares for their crucial CAF Confederations cup<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[598,457],"class_list":["post-15293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-joash-onyango","tag-kenneth-muguna"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15293"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15295,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15293\/revisions\/15295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
