Saturday
Confederations Cup fixture
Bayelsa United v KCC FC

KCC FC’s hopes of registering a positive Confederations Cup result against Bayelsa United could be strengthened with the return of first team stars Patrick Ssenfuka and Benjamin Ochan from injury.

Ssenfuka, who played on pain killers in the 3-1 first leg win over the Nigerians, did not only limp off in the second half of that fixture but also had to sit out the club’s league games against Express FC and Nalubaale after aggravating his ankle injury.

“We gambled with him against Bayelsa but the injury worsened and he needed a deserved rest. He has been on medication since and the results are very positive,” KCC coach George Nsimbe stated.

Nsimbe could afford a smile yesterday after medical reports proved that club custodian Ochan had suffered a minor ankle knock and not torn ligaments as had earlier been feared.
