The shot-stopper, who has been a key figure between the posts since joining K’Ogalo at the start of the current campaign, had been conspicuously absent from matchday squads for nearly a month without clear clarification on his condition.
His last competitive appearance came on Thursday, 22 January, when Gor Mahia produced a late comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over Bidco United.
However, ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Tusker FC, the club moved to clarify the situation, confirming that the Harambee Stars goalkeeper had been sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

The update brought relief to fans who had been left speculating over his absence during a critical stage of the season.
In an official update, the club stated, “UPDATE: Keeper Omondi has been training well, recovering fast from the groin injury that has kept him out for a while. He will be back in action soon. Speedy recovery, Kenya 1.”
His recovery comes at a pivotal moment in the campaign, with only seven matches remaining in the league and every point proving decisive in the tightly contested title race.
While his exact return date remains unconfirmed, the timing of his rehabilitation offers Gor Mahia a timely boost as they prepare for a demanding final stretch of fixtures that could define their season.
Attention now increasingly shifts to the much-anticipated Mashemeji Derby, where Gor Mahia will face arch-rivals AFC Leopards in a fixture steeped in history, passion, and title implications.
The high-stakes encounter is scheduled for Sunday, 26 April at the Nyayo National Stadium.
