STARS ABROAD Kenyan winger joins Leicester City from Chelsea
The Kenyan right winger joined Chelsea as an Under 10 and spent close to a decade with the Blues before he was deemed surplus to requirements.
Speaking to the press after the Kakamega Homeboyz match, where K’Ogalo adapted by starting Ernest Wendo in midfield to counter Abana Beingo’s physicality, McKinstry hinted that his charges will keep adapting their playing style on a game-by-game basis in order to get as many wins as they can.
“It is always a physical game in Kakamega. Look, there are certain games around the world that you know when you go to, it is always going to be a physical encounter. In England, if you play Millwall away, you know it is going to be a tough physical encounter," Mckinstry said.

FKFPL Matano delighted by return of seven players from injuries
A number of players in the squad have been battling injuries but they are soon to return to action.
“If you come to Kakamega, it is going to be a tough physical encounter. There is no wrong way to play football. There are many ways. You can play like Ajax or you can play like Burnley. It does not mean one is better than the other, it just means it is different.
“We know what we face here. We knew Kakamega would use their physical advantage. You saw that with their result last week against Tusker, so we knew what we were in for, it was no surprise.”
McKinstry has aimed a dig at the quality of playing surfaces in the topflight not being convenient enough for his team to set up in a way that is aesthetically pleasing.

FKFPL Charles Odera's concern as Muhoroni Youth continue winless streak
Odera has insisted that his side is creating a lot of chances, but failing to put them in the back of the net.
“We said after the Ulinzi game that if teams want to have a physical encounter, we can have a physical encounter, that is no problem.
“If teams want to come and play and there is a nice surface to play on, then we will go and play, so it is about picking up the points.”
Gor Mahia will face KCB in their fifth league game of the season aiming to claim top spot, as they sit second, two points behind K'Ogalo.
