Nairobi United will be without midfielder Michael Karamor when they face APS Bomet in a midweek FKF Premier League match. The fixture will be played today at 3pm at Nyayo National Stadium.
Karamor picked up an injury ahead of the game, dealing a blow to the club at a difficult time. Nairobi United are juggling domestic league action and continental commitments while trying to recover from recent poor results.
Karamor Injury Weakens Midfield Options
Michael Karamor has been a key figure in Nairobi United’s midfield this season. He has provided energy, balance, and control in the centre of the pitch.
His absence forces head coach Godfrey Oduor to rethink his midfield setup. The club has not revealed the full details of the injury, but Karamor will not be available for selection against APS Bomet.
With a busy match schedule, his injury further stretches the squad and limits rotation options.
Coach Oduor Stresses Recovery and Focus
Head coach Godfrey Oduor, popularly known as Solo, admitted the tight fixture schedule has taken a toll on the team. However, he remains confident in his players’ ability to respond.
Oduor said competing at a high level demands quick recovery and strong mental focus. He stressed the need to motivate players and prepare them properly, even with little time between matches.
The coach believes attitude and discipline will be crucial as the team looks to bounce back.
Continental Struggles Increase Pressure
Nairobi United have endured a difficult CAF Confederation Cup campaign. The team has scored only one goal and conceded seven in four Group B matches.
Their latest setback came on Sunday with an away loss to Tanzania’s Azam FC. After that defeat, the team returned home to concentrate fully on league duties.
The struggles in continental football have added pressure to deliver positive results domestically.
Focus Shifts Back to FKF Premier League
With continental hopes fading, Nairobi United have now shifted full attention to the FKF Premier League. The APS Bomet match offers a chance to rebuild confidence and collect crucial points.
The club currently sits 10th on the table with 25 points. They trail leaders Gor Mahia by 15 points, making consistency vital in the remaining fixtures.
A home win could help stabilise their season.
APS Bomet Desperate for Points
APS Bomet enter the match under pressure as they sit 17th in the league with 15 points. The team remains in the relegation zone and has yet to record a league win this year.
Their situation makes them dangerous opponents. Nairobi United will need to stay alert and avoid complacency.
APS Bomet are expected to fight hard to keep their survival hopes alive.
Crucial Match at Nyayo Stadium
The match carries importance for both sides. Nairobi United want to restore momentum and confidence, while APS Bomet seek a breakthrough result.
Coach Oduor believes his team can show resilience despite injuries and fatigue. With home advantage, Nairobi United aim to respond positively.
As kickoff approaches at Nyayo National Stadium, both teams know the result could shape their season in the FKF Premier League.
