Origa set for a longer spell on the sidelines

Bandari FC midfielder Fidel Origa is set for more weeks on the sidelines with an ankle problem picked up three weeks ago during a league match against Tusker FC at the Ruaraka Grounds.The defensive midfielder was forced off in the first half after clashing with a Tusker player. He was replaced by Dennis Magige, who has gone ahead to start in all the games that the former Wazito FC man has missed.##NAJAVA_MECA_7142352##Initially, it was expected that he would return immediately after the international break. The injury saw him axed from the provisional Harambee Stars squad that prepared for the friendly match against Iran.On Wednesday, in the first post-international break match, he was in the stands as his team suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of a depleted AFC Leopards. Asked about the player’s return date, Kimani disclosed that he was yet to resume training with the rest of the team and that he will remain sidelined for a few more weeks.##EDITORS_CHOICE##”He has not started training yet. He has been working with our physio, and he will be out for another couple of weeks. I think Magige has filed in well; he has done really well, and the void that Fidel left has been filled well,” the former Kenyan international said.On Sunday, they face Mwatate United in a Mozzart Bet Cup round of 16 match at the Mbaraki Sports Club, and for Kimani, the match is a redemption opportunity.”We have another opportunity to make amends on Sunday against Mwatate in the Cup competition, and we are going to do our best to progress. We want to win that game, and we are going to approach it with the seriousness that it deserves,” he added.Mozzart Bet Cup: Kimani not underrating Mwatate
