Kariobangi Sharks captain Kevin Luke Otiala has suffered an injury setback, and he is now set for a longer spell on the sidelines, Coach William Muluya has disclosed.The former St. Joseph’s Youth central defender picked up a lateral collateral ligament strain on his knee during a league match against Kakamega Homeboyz at the Bukhungu at the start of the year and has not featured ever since as the injury, which was initially thought not to be too serious, has taken longer to heal.##NAJAVA_MECA_7099810##He had stepped up his recovery and joined the rest of the group for training last week, but a tackle in training whipped away all the gains made, and the player is now set to be out for a longer period of time.”It is a sad one because he was getting back, but unfortunately someone knocked him down during training, and so it is a sad state, and we will just have to use the other players that are available. We will wait for a detailed report from the medical team, but his situation is an unfortunate one, really sad.” Kanu told Mozzart SportBefore his injury, Otiala had established himself as an indispensable piece in Muluya’s backline, and his injury came as a massive blow for the youthful Sharks, who have been letting in goals in almost every game. They are the top-scoring side in the league, but at the other end, they have not been too tight.In his absence, Timothy Ekhavi, Collins Obanda, and Kevin Musamali will be the available central defenders for the Sharks.
