Coach Akonnor’s rallying call
Although he expressed concern about the short turnaround time for players returning from international duty, the coach remains confident in his squad. Speaking to the club’s media team, he said:
“The only challenge is that our international players have just returned today, but it’s nothing we can’t handle. We use friendly matches to ensure everyone gets to the same level. We know the coming week will be tough, so we must manage the players well. We believe that tomorrow we will field a solid team, one that will work hard and get the results.”
With the Green Army behind them, Gor Mahia aim to mark this historic day with a commanding performance and maintain their grip on the top of the table.
