Akumu and Owino have slight injuries and will have to undergo late fitness tests before the match, Logarusic told <i>futaa.com.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Anthony Gathu has not recovered from the injury he sustained in the top 8 match against Tusker. Innocent Mutiso and Raphael Kiongera have started rehabilitation training but are still far from fitness.<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of these players Logarusic will need to dig deeper in his bench. Ivan Anguyo who has not seen much playing time lately might come in in central defense or in midfield. If Moses Otieno has recovered from the emotional meltdown he had against Tusker then he may have another chance to prove himself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rama Bereaved<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Rama Salim lost his sister to a road accident on May 14.
