Gor Mahia have suffered a huge blow after their defender Philemon Otieno was ruled out of action for three months.
The Harambee Stars defender will not be available this weekend when the Kenyan champions take on Aigle Noir of Burundi in the return leg of the Caf Champions League owing to a knee injury.
According to Gor Mahia CEO Omondi Aduda, Otieno picked up a cruciate ligament injury during the African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifying match against Tanzania and will have to undergo surgery.
“We will have to do without Philemon [Otieno] because he will undergo surgery to repair his leg after he picked an injury during the match against Tanzania,” Aduda told Goal on Wednesday.
