Gor Mahia Injuries Hit Hard Before Mashemeji Derby
Gor Mahia Suffers Major Setbacks Ahead of the Mashemeji Derby
Ahead of their crucial match against AFC Leopards, Gor Mahia has received troubling news: two key players have been ruled out due to injuries, leaving Charles Akonnor’s team without them for the 98th Mashemeji Derby.
These losses are particularly painful following the unexpected 4–1 defeat to AFC Bomet, after which K’Ogalo has been trying to regain momentum and restore confidence. The pressure leading into the derby has significantly increased.
Although Gor Mahia has often had the upper hand over AFC Leopards in recent years, last season showed a balance of power — both encounters ended in draws. Now, without two important players, the challenge becomes even tougher.
A tense and highly competitive match is expected, with Gor Mahia fighting both for prestige and for crucial points as they seek to redeem themselves after their recent setback.
