Kenya Premier League champions Gor Mahia head to Madagascar on Saturday, less than 24 hours before their return leg of the Africa Champions league preliminary round game against CNaPS.

K'Ogalo hold a slim 1-0 lead over the Madagascar champions and will be hoping to avoid defeat to make it to the first round of the continent's most lucrative club championships.

Coach Frank Nuttall has limited options in the team given most of his preferred first team players were not registered for the tournament.

But in an interview, Nuttall maintained confidence his team will be victorious.

"We played well in Nairobi. And happy we won. We would have loved to be heading to the return leg with a bigger margin but give it to CNaPS, they played very well in the first leg," opined Nuttall.

"But we have a good squad, limited options of course because you are aware we did not register some players, but the ones I havewill do the job," he added.

The travelling party has 19 players among them midfielder Collins Okoth "Gatusso" who has been having problems with the technical bench and club management due to his wanting discipline.

Defender Dikir Glay is back in the squad after missing last weekend's league match against Mathare United through injury.

Those in the travelling squad include : Fredrick Onyango, Godfrey Walusimbi, Kevin Oluoch, Musa Mohamed,Collins Okoth, Ronald Otieno, Jerry Santo, Timothy Otieno, Khalid Aucho , David Juma ,Bernard Odhiambo, Eric Ochieng , Haron Shakava, Michael Olunga , Bonface Oluoch, Israel Emuge, George Odhiambo, Dirkir Glay, Ali Abondo.
