Kakamega Homeboyz midfielder Ali Bhai will be out of action for up to three weeks after sustaining a knee injury during his side’s last league action against Nairobi City Stars.The veteran midfielder went off in the second half after a clash that left him with an injured knee at the Ruaraka Grounds. He was pictured with a heavily bandaged knee after the game that his side lost by a solitary goal.The player is now set to be sidelined for the next 2-3 three weeks as confirmed by Homeboyz’s assistant coach Bernard Mwalala.“Bhai will be out for two-three weeks, it was a bad injury but he is slowly recovering and we estimate that we will not be involved for at least two-three weeks,” he told Mozzart Sport.In his absence, the likes of Stephen Wakanya, and Shami Kibwana are expected to fill the void and Mwalala believes that they have enough cover to cope with Bhai’s absence.We play KCB FC tomorrow at the Nakuru ASK Showground.Ushindi tu 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/NtDmXOpkau— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) June 25, 2021 “Bhai is a good and experienced player but I think we have capable replacements within the team, it is upon them to step up now. There are three to four players who can fill his position and we just hope that they will play well in his absence, his injury shouldn’t be a reason for us not to perform well,” he added.Next for Homeboyz is a match against leaders KCB and it is a game the Kakamega-based side wants to win so as to recover from the defeat to City Stars.“The defeat was down to rustiness; I think not playing competitively for over three weeks proved costly. We have been trying to shake off the rustiness and I believe that we will perform better against KCB. We want to return to winning ways,” he concluded.
