Harambee Stars: Gor Mahia defender Philemon Otieno finally undergoes knee surgery

The K’Ogalo defender will be ruled out of action for about four months after he managed to raise funds for surgery last Thursday

Gor Mahia defender Philemon Otieno has undergone knee surgery, a few weeks after he was not attended to by the club and the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).

The Harambee Stars defender was allegedly injured while turning out for the national team, but both the FKF and Gor Mahia refused to help him to operate on his knee, claiming they did not have money for the exercise.

However, Nation Sport now reports the former Ushuru FC player will stay out of action for at least four months after he underwent successful surgery on Thursday last week.
