FKFPL Meet Gad Mathews Otieno, a goalkeeping hero in Gor Mahia's historic title-winning season
The custodian kept 17 clean sheets as Gor Mahia lifted a historic 20th league title.
“It is very clear, we just necessarily do not talk about some things and conduct our business in private. Gad’s had some personal matters to attend to and we have given him the space because footballers are not robots and if you are not right off the pitch, you will not be right on it,” McKinstry told Pulse Sports.
“We have supported him and given him the time. I think that is now sorted out and he should be returning to training at some point next week. It is not a concern for us and we have always known.”

Gad had been linked with a move to Bandari after his contract expired at the end of June, but McKinstry has revealed he is set to continue with Sirkal for now.
“I know there was a lot of talk in the newspapers about this. Even the day that appeared in the news, he rang me and assured me that that is not true straight on the phone. We have been confident with that, we still have capable goalkeepers.”

FOOTBALL Kakamega Homeboyz unshaken for continental challenge despite Gor Mahia setback
Odhiambo reveals what Homeboyz needs to work on if they are to do well against Al Hilal in the Confederation Cup following the Shield trophy loss to Gor Mahia.
Meanwhile, McKinstry was quick to hail young custodian Caleb Omondi for stepping up in the Charity Shield but admitted he felt sorry for the mistake he made for the Homeboyz equalizer, believing that he will overcome it.
“Young Caleb is a great goalkeeper. He is only 19,20 years of age. I felt bad for him because you cannot assign fault for their equalizing goal because the wall has to do better, but if he had made that save, it would have been world-class.”
