STARS ABROAD Johnstone Omurwa: Why Harambee Stars defender has not featured for Estrela since November

Andre Luiz opened the scoring for Estrela in the seventh minute when he got on the end of a pass by Jean Felipe, but Vizela equalised in the second half through Samu.
Both sides would have to settle for a point in the end, which now puts Estrela ninth on 17 points midway through the season, which has been an impressive one considering they won promotion back to the top flight last summer.
When fit, Omurwa has been an integral part of Estrela’s defence.
