Boost for Bidco as Mogaka resumes training

Bidco United attacking midfielder Emmanuel Mogaka is hoping that coach Anthony Akhulia will consider him for play time after the international break following his return from a lengthy injury layoff.

Mogaka hurt his knee in January while in action against Wazito at the Utalii grounds and was initially ruled out for five months after a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan exposed a manageable tear through rehabilitation.

However, he has had to wait for another three months for the doctor to give him a clean bill of health as he resumed training last week. Mogaka who could not hide his thirst for competitive football said he was working hard as he seeks to convince Akhulia that he is ready to play again.

“I began training last week and hopefully, the coach will consider me for playing time after the break. The recovery path has been full of ups but I am glad that I am back to doing what I do best,” he said.

Mogaka who joined Bidco last year from FC Talanta return to the team comes at a time when the Thika based side has been struggling to win the matches.

The club has registered a win from their opening six matches of the season and he hopes that his presence will inspire the team to reap more positive results consistently, the competition from playing time notwithstanding.

“I have to work harder so as to beat the competition. Of course for the time I have been sidelined the team has been performing well and it is upon me to give the coach reasons to field me. I hope I will help the team bag more wins going forward,” added the former Mumbi Nationale midfielder.
