Nairobi City Stars midfielder Mohammed Bajaber’s second loan spell isn’t going to plan.After missing his team’s first eight games of the season with a hamstring injury, Bajaber finally made his debut appearance this term – a fixture against Sofapaka FC on Saturday- before he hobbled off after the hour mark.“Bajaber got a hamstring injury,” Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti said on Wednesday afternoon. “He was recovering well in the previous weeks and we brought him into the last match but it [hamstring] tore again.”Muyoti however didn’t specify how long the midfielder will be out of action, outlining that it would take ‘one or two weeks’ before an evaluation to his return date would be done.“With hamstring injuries, you never know the extent until you give it a shot,” Muyoti explained further when asked whether the injury was a setback to the previous one he had. “We [team staff] knew that he had rested enough and that he was okay. But it happened again.” ##NAJAVA_MECA_6955308##Bajaber, two weeks before the Premier League season kicked off, suffered a torn hamstring in his left leg while playing in a friendly match.The hope was that he would return at some point early in the season, which he did, but returning to the sidelines that soon was not on the cards.“Bajaber brings something special to the team and his presence is definitely being missed,” Muyoti added. “He is going to get through this I know.”With a goal and an assist in his second year with City Stars, the Starfield Academy youngster on Wednesday afternoon watched on as KCB secured their fourth consecutive victory – dispatching his adopted side 1-0 at the Kasarani Annex grounds.
