After their 'Mashemeji' derby clash with AFC Leopards last weekend, Gor Mahia coach Sinisa Mihic bemoaned lack of clinical finishers in his side admitting he is frustrated that he can’t play Omala.
“We need a distinguished player like Omala, a real striker who scores easily and doesn’t miss many chances but there is a problem with him which is above me. I can’t field him,” said the 47-year-old Croatian.
Harambee Stars forward Benson Omala has now taken his dispute with Lebanese top league club Al Safa to world football governing body, Fifa as he battles to officially re-sign for Gor Mahia.
Omala, 23, has been out of competitive football for eight months since leaving Lebanon over safety concerns in September.
