Ulinzi Stars’ seasoned striker, Enosh Ochieng, has suffered an injury that will keep him out of action for at least eight weeks, the club has confirmed.The former FKF Premier League top scorer sustained the injury in the 55th minute of a goalless draw against Kakamega Homeboyz at the Dandora Stadium on Sunday. He was immediately replaced by Oscar Wamalwa, who is making a comeback to the team after missing the first leg.##NAJAVA_MECA_8702659##The club released a statement confirming Ochieng’s injury and wished him a swift recovery.”Enosh Ochieng sustained a fracture on the left lateral malleolus during Sunday’s FKF Premier League match against Kakamega Homeboyz Football Club and will be sidelined for eight weeks. We wish him a quick recovery,” read the statement.Despite the setback, coach Dunstan Nyaudo has some relief with the return of Wamalwa from military duty and the signing of Meshack Karani from Mara Sugar.
