Kenyan Premier League side Sofapaka has embarked on a major restructuring exercise ahead of the second leg of the season, dropping nine players from their squad.
Among those dropped are former Gor Mahia forwards Ibrahim Kitawi and Timonah Wanyonyi, who were part of the team that recently announced the signing of 11 new players.
The move is seen as an attempt to create space for the new signings, with the team set to take on Kariobangi Sharks in its first match of the season at Machakos on Saturday afternoon.
The full list of dropped players includes Timonah Wanyonyi, Ibrahim Kitawi, Philip Muchuma, Derick Wafula, Cornelius Juma, Musa Maluda, Allan Katwe, Muhamed Kasirye, and Isma Watenga.
