FOOTBALL AFC Leopards provide update on Ksh20M payment to former coach Patrick Aussems after deadline elapsed
AFC Leopards have explained the status of the over Ksh20m owed to former coach Patrick Aussems that landed the club in problems before the start of this season.
Prior to this setback, Nsimbabi, who joined Bandari in the off-season transfer window, had already made a significant impact by netting five goals.
His absence on the field will be keenly felt by the team, especially as they prepare to take on league leaders Gor Mahia this Saturday at Mbaraki Grounds.
In addition to Nsimbabi's absence, Bandari FC will continue to miss the services of attacking midfielder Robert Onyango, who is sidelined due to a thigh muscle injury.
Meanwhile, Bandari has reportedly increased their entrance fees for the upcoming clash.
Historically, fans could attend matches at Mbaraki Sports Club for Ksh 100 or 200. However, the fee has been set at Ksh 500 for the upcoming showdown with Gor Mahia.
