AFC Leopards coach Patrick Aussems has made it clear that the players can not compete this season.
Ingwe have been under tough financial limitations since the last Football Kenya Federation Premier League campaign and went on to lose several key players.
With no money to bring in replacements, the 13-time champions went on to promote players from their junior team resulting to the teams latest struggle for consistency this season owing to a lack of experience in the team
They have been struggling for consistency in the league and have managed just nine points from 10 games played.
"We were not expecting to play with this young team, I expected to have my key players from last season to compete [in the ongoing campaign]. But this is the squad I have, it is impossible to compete. It is that simple.
"They are getting the experience right now; game after game, they are learning from the mistakes and in a few months, this team will be competitive," Aussems stated.
Ingwe lost experienced goalkeepers Benjamin Ochan and John Oyemba who had been vital for the team.
Captain Isaac Kipyegon and his predecessor Robinson Kamura also left the Den alongside Austin Odhiambo, Bienventure Shaka, Boniface Wafula, Clyde Senaji, Collins Lusaka, Elvis Baranga, Fabrice Mugheni, and Hansel Ochieng.
Others are Harrison Mwendwa, Said Tsuma, Sellasie Otieno, Ezekiel Owade, and Jafari Owiti.
AFC had a poor run of matches having lost five matches in a row but managed to win one and draw two of their last three games.
As a result, they are currently placed 15th on the table with nine points. In those 10 matches, they have scored five goals and conceded nine.
