The club has confirmed the midfielder has undergone successful surgery to repair his knee.

KCB FC have confirmed midfielder Michael Mutinda is doing well after undergoing a successful surgery after suffering a knee injury during a league match against Tusker FC.

In an update, the Bankers confirmed the 27-year-old underwent surgery to correct the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.

This means Mutinda will be set on the path of recovery to ensure he is fully fit to resume his career, with the coaches expecting him to return after the end of the season.

Mutinda had undergone scans to discover the extent of a worrying injury he suffered before it was decided that he undergoes surgery.

The midfielder is expected to return to the treatment room after two weeks for the doctors to reassess the injury, though it appears that he might recover quicker than expected.

This is Mutinda's second spell on the sidelines after a knee injury kept him out in February this year.

He missed two games before returning to action, having suffered a knock during a league match against Wazito at Muhoroni Stadium.

Mutinda joined KCB in 2018 from the defunct Thika United before being appointed the club's captain in April 2022.

In the past two seasons, Mutinda put on a magnificent show in the middle of the park alongside Apollo Otieno, and in the ongoing season, the midfielder has scored one goal.

KCB host Sofapaka on Monday at Kasarani Annex, looking to maintain their good run after a 1-0 win over Posta Rangers last weekend.
