Relief, belief and excitement are sweeping through the Gor Mahia camp as Harambee Stars defender Lewis Bandi has finally completed his long road back from injury and is ready to roar in green and white.
Signed from arch-rivals AFC Leopards on August 20, 2025, Bandi arrived at Gor Mahia with huge expectations—but cruel fate struck before he could kick a ball. An injury sustained while on national duty during the CHAN 2024 tournament, co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, kept the tough defender sidelined for months.
In November 2025, head coach Charles Akonnor offered hope, confirming Bandi’s return to training as Gor Mahia prepared for the gruelling 2025/26 SportPesa Premier League run-in. Still, matchday action remained just out of reach.
Until now.
The long wait ended on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, when Bandi stepped back onto the pitch in a friendly against Equity FC. Gor Mahia claimed a narrow 1-0 victory, but the biggest win of the night was Bandi’s return—strong, sharp and injury-free.
Now, the K’Ogalo Green Army is on high alert.
The countdown to Lewis Bandi’s official debut has begun, and when it finally happens, it promises to be loud, emotional and unforgettable. After months in the shadows, Gor Mahia’s warrior is ready to fight again.
Bandi is back. And K’Ogalo just got stronger. 🟢⚪🔥
