Godfrey Walusimbi’s days in Gor Mahia might be coming to an end after he was left out of traveling squad for the match against Muhoroni Youth at Moi Stadium in Kisumu on Sunday.
The Uganda Cranes international last featured for the thirteen times Kenyan Premier League champions on May 2 in a 2-0 triumph over Ulinzi Stars at City Stadium.
Since then, the defender come winger has missed matches against Sony Sugar, Western Stima, Nakuru All Stars and now Muhoroni Youth.
When reached for comment, K’Ogalo Organizing Secretary David Kilo revealed to Goal that the player was left behind in order to accommodate the number of foreigners in the match day squad.
“It is all about team balancing, nothing is wrong between us and Walusimbi. You know if the coach feels that he does not need your services for the particular match then that is it.
“Walusimbi is a good player and we are keen to work with him for the longest time possible.”
AFCON qualifiers close
With the Cranes’ first 2017AFCON qualifier game in three weeks’ time, Walusimbi is focusing on getting some playing time ahead of the qualification campaign.
However, sources within the club have revealed that the Cranes left back decided to stay away until his demands are met.
Reports indicate that he is not happy with payments made in portions and has asked to be paid his salary and allowances in full before deciding to take the pitch again in the green army jersey.
This comes amid reports that Gor Mahia is contemplating dropping several foreigners in the team in order to abide by rules of the league which allows a team to have a maximum of five foreigners.
Gor Mahia currently have eight players with Ugandan striker Dan Sserunkuma expected to rejoin the champions in June.
