Police ace Kahata racing to be fit for Leopards clash

Police FC midfielder Francis Kahata is in a race to be fit for their upcoming FKF Premier League clash against AFC Leopards on Sunday.

Kahata suffered a hamstring injury when the two sides clashed a fortnight ago at the Nyayo National Stadium but he says he has been training with the rest of the team with the hope of being part of the matchday squad.

“I am recovering well from the Injury I sustained in our previous encounter against AFC but I have been training with the rest of the team and I hope to be fully fit for Sunday match and help the team get maximum points,” Kahata said.

The former Gor Mahia FC player was quick to hail the impact to the new head coach Sammy Pamzo Omollo adding that he has brought in positive energy among the players and that will be replicated on the pitch.

“He is one of the best coaches we have in this country and him joining us is a big plus. We’re lucky to have him alongside Musa Otieno because these are respected figures in Kenyan football and we can already feel their impact,” Kahata added.

Having played to a one-all draw against Ingwe in the first leg, the creative midfielder has rallied his team to collect all three points against while praising their opponents’ fighting spirit.

“They have a youth squad that is very hungry to prove a point so we cannot afford to take them for granted.”

Police are currently tenth in the league standings with 28 points from 23 matches played
