It is only Tusker who informed us that they will continue with their match against Kariobangi Sharks in absence of their players and we have allowed them to proceed with the game,\u201d said KPL CEO Jack Oguda to the Nation<\/p>\n<p>Four Gor Mahia players are in the CECAFA squad: Clifford Miheso, Lawrence Juma, Joash Onyango and Kenneth Muguna<\/p>\n<p>According to the Nation, KPL has since given out revised fixtures which will see the clubs, whose players are not participating in the regional tourney, break officially for holidays on December 16, while those whose matches have been postponed play on December 22 and 29.<\/p>\n<p>Schedules are typically available on the KPL website. But the site is now shut down, another sign that the Kenya Premier League is in dire financial straits.<\/p>\n<p>Two days ago, coach Steve Polack insisted that he was ready to play without the players on national team duty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we will be affected in any way, they are among our best players but we are ready to continue with our positive run in the league without them,\u201d Polack told goal.com on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, none of the players featured against\u00a0Ulinzi Stars\u00a0and we played very well, so it is the same thing, I have players in the reserve who will be asked to step up and I know they will do a wonderful job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not worried at all, I don\u2019t think it should worry the fans too, they must stay focused and keep supporting us. We have a good squad to get worried when we miss three or five regular players.\u201d<\/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\/gor-mahia-vs-kisumu-all-stars\/\"\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>The much anticipated match between Gor Mahia and newly promoted Kisumu All Stars, that was scheduled for this weekend, has<\/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":[],"class_list":["post-15459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15459","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=15459"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15466,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15459\/revisions\/15466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
