Ulinzi Stars boosted by Birgen's return ahead of Tusker FC game

Ulinzi Stars are set to welcome defender Brian Birgen for Sunday's game against Tusker FC at Ruaraka Grounds.

The right-back has missed the team's last four Kenyan Premier League (KPL) games owing to an ankle injury, leaving Byron Odanga to fill the void. However, goalkeeper Timothy Odhiambo and striker Mark Bikokwa are still out nursing hamstring injuries.

"This game comes too soon for them; they can’t be cleared for the Sunday match but we expect that after two weeks they will be ready to resume training," Ulinzi Stars team doctor John Imboywa is quoted by the club's website.
