Gor Mahia head coach Leo Neiva has provided some positive news on the return of the embattled player Rooney Onyango in a recent update regarding his status.

Onyango, a key player for K'Ogalo, has been notably absent from the squad, missing the CAF Champions League roster and the opening league match against Mathare United.

Neiva addressed concerns over Onyango’s absence, stating that Onyango is set for a return to the squad in the next fixture

"Roney is just back, and in the next game he will be back in the line-up," said Neiva post-match when questioned on the absence of the player.
