Gor Mahia race against time to regain fitness ahead of Pyramids clash

Kenya Premier League champions Gor Mahia are racing against time to have key players fit ahead of their CAF Champions League match against Pyramids of Egypt on Sunday at the Nyayo National Stadium. With no league matches played, Gor Mahia have featured in two matches over the last two weeks against top sides in the country, without registering a win. Gor Mahia were thrown into the deep end during pre-season, finding themselves at the CECAFA Kagame Cup after just one week of training. They surprised many by reaching the final, where they lost to Rayon Sports. The technical bench is now working on the team’s mental toughness to help the players cope with the pressures of the Champions League. Pyramids are favourites to win the encounter, having recently won the competition. Gor Mahia will host the first leg before travelling to Cairo for the return leg.
