Brian Mandela joins Harambee Stars in Egypt after knee surgery

Harambee Stars defender Brian Mandela has joined his international teammates in Egypt.

Mandela, who underwent surgery on his right knee in France on Wednesday, jetted to Cairo where he is set to remain in camp, as Kenya take part in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The Maritzburg United centre-back suffered a Meniscus tear during Harambee Stars 19-day training camp in France and was subsequently ruled out of the 32nd Afcon edition.

“It has been hard to accept (the injury), especially because of its timing, but the support I have received from my teammates in the past few days has made it easier for me.
