Sharks defender expected to be out for long after spraining his ankle

Experienced Kariobangi Sharks and Harambee Stars defender Samuel Olwande is expected to face a lengthy stay on the sidelines after being diagnosed with a cartilage tear on his ankle.

Olwande will therefore face the knife on April 15 becoming the third Sharks player to be operated on this season.

Sharks suffered a double blow in January after their reliable winger Patrick Otieno tore his right knee meniscus which saw him have a date with the surgeon last month. 

Additionally, Patrick Ngunyi followed suit after damaging his patella tendonitis. The two players were ruled out for eight two ten weeks after their surgeries.

This will not be the first time Olwande will be wheeled to the surgeon's table as he underwent an operation in October 2018 while at Mathare United following a third degree meniscus tear on right knee which saw him stay out of action for five months.
