Batambuze: Injured Gor Mahia defender's progress stalls during lockdown

Gor Mahia defender Shafik Batambuze has revealed his previous timeline of returning to action by June may not materialise as he has struggled in his recovery process.

In April, the Ugandan player had assured the club's fans he will be fit and available to play in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) by the start of June.

The dreadlocked player sustained a nasty knee injury while turning out for the Kenyan champions in a Caf Champions League match against Aigle Noir of Burundi, and was forced to undergo surgery.

The injury has kept Batambuze out of action for the entire season and after undergoing successful surgery in November, the player pencilled in June as the month to return to action.
