Gor Mahia will be looking to make up for dropping points against Ushuru FC last weekend, while Tusker are coming off a morale boosting 2-1 win over Western Stima.<br \/>\nZe Maria&#8217;s record so far is two wins and one draw. But the teams he has played so far are in the lower half of the table. Tusker will be his first test. He might have Jacque Tuyisenge back for the match. The Rwandan striker trained with the team on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is not fully fit but he is okay, we are expecting that all shall be well by the time we face Tusker FC. He has been running and we expect him to be fit, though that shall be determined by the doctor. His knee and ankle had little pain, which we hope shall be over by Friday. We do not want to risk him because that might put him out for long.\u201d said a source to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Without Tuyisenge, Kogallo have had acute difficulty scoring. But coach Ze Maria vowed to work on finishing after last weekend&#8217;s dissapointing draw.<\/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\/ze-maria-faces-first-acid-test\/\"\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>Gor Mahia&#8217;s Brazilian tactician Ze Maria has a chance to prove his mettle when the club takes on top of<\/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-8335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8335","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=8335"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8340,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8335\/revisions\/8340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
