Nairobi City Stars will miss the services of dependable midfielder Peter 'Pinchez' Opiyo when they take on log leaders Tusker next Saturday at Kasarani. Opiyo, who is City Stars' top scorer this season with four goals, was slapped with a fifth yellow card this season in the last game against AFC Leopards. The card was earned in the 61st minute after a challenge on a Leopards player deep in the City Stars territory. City Stars head coach Sanjin Alagic said Opiyo’s absence is a big blow but there is no choice but to dive into the brewers game without his midfield lynchpin. Tusker leads the log with 35 points while City Stars popularly known as 'Simba wa Nairobi' lie 9th on the table with 19 points
