Tusker Fc head coach Charles Okere is beaming with confidence ahead of Saturday’s premier league fixture against Nairobi City Stars.
The two week international break Okere says has been beneficial to the squad with the tactician saying they have used it to improve on a number of areas in the playing unit.
‘’The three weeks have been interesting because we have used it playing a number of frienmdly matches and also strengthened the areas that we had gaps.we have had lapses in terms of preventing goals but again the good thing is that we are also scoring but it’s a matter of brining in in balance’’,Okere remarked.
Okere will be glad to welcome back dependable centre back Mike Kibwage and midfielder Dennis Oguta who have recovered from injury but midfielder David Odoyo is still ruled out.
Tusker will be up against City Stars who have won their last two matches.
‘’City Stars have had motivating results for us {Tusker FC} we lost our last match but it’s also a motivation for us because we finished on a high despite losing,I give kudos to my players they are responding well to the tactics that we will use in Saturdays match’’,Okere intimated.
