The three are David Owino, Musa Mohamed and Anthony Akumu.<br \/>\nIn addition, the Ugandan trio of Dan Sserunkuma, Geoffrey Kizito and Godfrey Walusimbi who were set to link up with the Uganda Cranes for their clash against Zambia.<br \/>\nCoach Bobby Williamson is understandably furious.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is absolutely crazy. How do I plan for the weekend game with six of my first team players missing? It means I will not have them for three days. On Tuesday they linked up with their teams, they play on Wednesday and will be travelling back on Thursday. Now you understand what I\u2019m talking about,\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI don\u2019t mind them playing for their national teams but my fear is the risk of them picking injuries while on international duty.\u201d said Williamson to the Nation.<\/p>\n<h3>Esperance gets exemption<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile the Tunisian national team are due to play Colombia in an international friendly. All the Tunisian players who are involved in African club competitions have been exempted from the friendly. This is a stark contrast to Kenya where FKF has offered no such breaks.\u00a0 And you wonder why Kenyan teams cannot make a breakthrough in African football ?<\/p>\n<h3>Update: Stars now stranded in Khartoum<\/h3>\n<p>Harambee stars were apparently stranded on Kharotoum. Striker Dennis Oliech has taken to Social media to voice his complaints.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are in Sudan for the game and we don&#8217;t know where is the game or which city the game is but we have been told that we have to travel again for 2hrs to go to the game and it&#8217;s 11am,&#8221; wrote Oliech on his facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>The match against Sudan has now been cancelled. FKF Chair Sam Nyamweya has accused the Sudanese federation of changing the venue at the last moment. FKF only accepted that Harambee Stars plays the match as per the terms stated on the invitation letter, which did not suggest anything to the contrary as regards the match venue being elsewhere other than Khartoum. Neither was there any insinuation of possible change of venue or match date before our team left Nairobi. &#8221; said Nyamweya to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>This means that at least the Gor Mahia players in the team will avoid picking up uneccesary injuries. But it still means that Gor Mahia&#8217;s training program was disrupted for two days.<\/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-preparations-disrupted\/\"\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>As Gor Mahia prepare to play Esperance in the Africa champions league return leg, three of their players have taken<\/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-4089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4089","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=4089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4089\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
