Gor Mahia captain Harun Shakava raise concerns with fixture congestion

Fatigue is to blame for Gor Mahia’s porous defense, says the club captain Harun Shakava.

The league defending champions have conceded eight goals in the last five games and 13 in 12 league games.

The situation, according to Shakava, is as a result of the many matches K’Ogalo have been battling in the recent past.

Gor Mahia stretched their lead at the top of the table to 30 points, but conceded two goals against Kakamega Homeboyz on Wednesday; a performance that left the observers questioning the leaks in the defensive department with a crucial Caf Confederation Cup match lined up.

"The many matches have affected, even the rate at which we are conceding goals, but we will fight to the end," told Goal.

K’Ogalo, who have three catch up matches, will take on Hull City in a promotional game at Kasarani Stadium on Sunday.
