Bidco United head coach Anthony Akhulia is hoping that starman Emmanuel Mogaka will not be sidelined for long after he picked up yet another injury on Sunday in the opening match of the season at the Nyayo National Stadium.The attacking midfielder was forced off midway through the first half after picking what looked like a knee injury. He collided with a City Stars player and had to go off. Veteran Zachary Gathu took his place.##NAJAVA_MECA_6833942##The former FC Talanta man has struggled with injuries in the past year and was looking forward to a successful campaign after overcoming a knee problem that resulted in him missing almost the entire 2021/22 FKF Premier League campaign.He is set to undergo further tests to determine how bad the injury is and his coach is hoping for the best.”Last season was bad for him and we are hoping that it is not something that will keep him out for the rest of the season. He has been doing well during pre-season and as his coach, I am counting on him this season, I am hoping that it is just something minor,” Akhulia told Mozzart Sport.”We will assess him. We don’t know what exactly happened to him, but the doctor will assess him and then he will be in a better position to advise us,” he added.The midfielder is certain to miss Saturday’s league action against Gor Mahia. The Thika-based side will entertain the record league champions in their Thika backyard.Bidco won the opening match of the season for the first time since they got promoted to the top tier and they will be seeking their first-ever win over Gor Mahia when the two teams meet at the Thika Sub-County Stadium on Saturday. Gor equally won their opening-day tie against Nzoia Sugar.Preparations for NSL kick off hit top gear
