Kitchee travel to Tai Po Sports Ground tomorrow to face Golik North District in the HKPL. Despite the squad facing several injury and suspension concerns, Head Coach Iñigo Calderón emphasized that the Club remains focused on winning and hopes to see younger players step up.
The Blues will be without the suspended trio of Jay Haddow, Kendy, and Tan Chun Lok, while Roger Riera and Asier Illarramendi are sidelined with injuries. Ruslan Mingazov, Cheng Chin Lung, and Callum Beattie also remain minor doubts. "Asier won't be out for too long - hopefully, he'll return for the next game against Tai Po", said Calderón. "Callum is improving and might be on the bench tomorrow, along with Ruslan and Lung”.
Despite the depleted squad, Calderón is making no excuses: "We aren't looking for excuses. We are here to compete and do our best. We’ve done a great job so far, and now the goal is to maintain that level and keep performing".
