2009 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions Sofapaka will have to face Gor Mahia without the services of influential striker Kepha Aswani.
The former AFC Leopards striker has missed most part of the season owing to injuries, but made a return last Wednesday to help his team defeat Western Stima 2-0.
However, the forward will not be part of the Batoto ba Mungu squad that will face leaders Gor Mahia on Sunday after accumulating a total of five yellow cards.
His absence is a blow to the team considering the fact that top striker Umaru Kasumba and Brian Magonya are sidelined with injuries.
