Nairobi City Stars midfielder Rowland Makati has rued injury troubles that have derailed him this campaign but is eyeing a strong finish in the remaining matches of the season, with three matches left before the season concludes.Makati was a starter for Simba Wa Nairobi for the better part of the first leg, but an injury picked up in February during a league game against Gor Mahia resulted in him being sidelined for two months. He has featured in all 14 games, nine as a starter and nine off the bench.##NAJAVA_MECA_7292196##After recovering from injury, he returned to the match-day squad in April, but dislodging Edwin Buliba from that right-back position has proved difficult, but the player is positive that he will earn minutes.In an interview with the club’s website, the player blamed the injury for derailing what he expected would have been a fruitful season for him.”I had a good start to the season, earning vital and regular playtime, until that game against Gor Mahia derailed my progression and my first real Kenyan Premier League season,” he said. Muyoti praises AFC Leopards target Etemesi”I only made my debut in the top league last season after featuring in the final two games. Those games built me up for this one, and it was going very well until that game in Kasarani.”He is positive that he will earn minutes in the remaining three games of the season and feature even more next season. The 2023–24 season starts in August.”I hope to gain some more playtime before we close this season, then seek more regular playtime next season,” added Makati.The City Stars’ final three matches are against Nzoia Sugar, FC Talanta, and record league champions Gor Mahia in that order.
