Gor Mahia defender Sylvester Owino was rushed to hospital after sustaining an injury during the first half of Gor Mahia F.C.’s Kenya Premier League clash against Ulinzi Stars F.C. on Sunday.
The experienced centre-back picked up a muscle strain in the early stages of the match and was forced to leave the pitch in the 35th minute after receiving medical attention from the club’s medical team. His injury prompted the technical bench to make an early defensive change as Gor Mahia sought to maintain stability at the back.
Following the incident, Owino was rushed to the German Medical Centre for further assessment and treatment. Initial reports indicate that the injury is not serious, with medical staff confident the defender will recover within a few days.
Owino has been an important figure in Gor Mahia’s defensive setup this season, providing leadership and experience at the heart of the backline as the record Kenyan champions continue their push in the Kenya Premier League title race.
Team officials have reassured fans that the injury is precautionary and the player is expected to resume training once he fully recovers.
Gor Mahia supporters will be hoping the defender returns quickly as the club continues its campaign in both domestic competitions.
