Polack: Otieno and Ochieng will be ‘new signings’ for Gor Mahia after injury recovery

The British tactician reveals to Goal the two players have shown great improvement and will play a big role in the new season

Gor Mahia coach Steven Polack has hailed the return to fitness of two key defenders – Philemon Otieno and Wellington Ochieng.

Otieno injured his leg while turning out for Kenya’s Harambee Stars in the African Nations Champions (Chan) qualifying match against Tanzania, and had to undergo surgery which kept him out of action for the better part of last season.

On the other hand, Ochieng picked up an injury during the early stages of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season, against Mathare United, and despite trying to make a comeback after feeling better, he aggravated the injury and was also forced to go under the knife, thus missing most of the season.
