Eight players have been suspended from taking part in the 28th round of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) which kicks off this Friday.

After losing the derby to arch-rivals Gor Mahia 2-0 on Sunday, AFC Leopards return to the pitch on Friday against Sofapaka but without three key players-Bernard Ongoma, Eugene Ambulwa and Allan Kateregga.
