Mark Harrison bullish despite continued absence of key players

Gor Mahia's head coach Mark Harrison is ready for the midweek Football Kenya Federation Premier League clash Posta Rangers on Wednesday and is having his eyes on all three points after back-to-back draws against Bidco United in the last two matches.

The record Kenyan champions are set to face off with the Stanley Okumbi charges at Thika Stadium in a rescheduled match that was initially set for December 2021.

Despite the match coming just days after playing to a one-all draw at the same facility against Bidco, the Englishman said his side is well prepared for the match and ready to go for the kill.

“Preparation-wise is as good as we can expect… we played a couple of days ago, so yesterday was more of regeneration, and today we just worked on our shape in readiness for the game tomorrow (against Posta Rangers). Very little time to sort of straighten out things but we move to the next game with a target of maximum points,” Harrison told the club's portal.

K'Ogalo will be without midfielder Peter Oudu who came off injured in the match against Talanta earlier in the month and will also miss the trio of Ernest Wendo, Adama Keita, and Benson Omalla whose future at the club is uncertain.

The absence of the four players, capped with the departure of Frank Odhiambo to Sweden's Djugardens makes it difficult for Gor Mahia according to the former Township Rollers coach.

“We will be missing Peter Oudu who is out with an injury and three other players Wendo, Adama and Benson who are out due to some other reasons which make it difficult,” the tactician confirmed.

A win for Gor Mahia in this fixture would see them move to second on the log with 30 points and a game to spare to catch up with the league leaders Kakamega Homeboyz who are on 33 points
