Midfielders Paul Were and Kevin Omondi were dismissed from the squad for leaving the team's hotel on the night of 27 November 2012 and not returning until dawn the next morning.[3][4][5] A.F.C. Leopards players Bernard Mang'oli and Victor Ochieng were called in as replacements for the two players.[6] However, they were called back to the squad ahead of their semi-final match against Zanzibar due to injuries aggravated by their replacements, Mang'oli and Ochieng.[7][8][9]
