Kariobangi Sharks have been dealt a blow in the FKF Premier League home run following the injury of their talismanic forward Felix Oluoch.

The injury is also a huge disappointment for Oluoch, who is tied on 12 goals with Derrick Otanga on the league’s top scoring chart, as it means his golden boot hopes are also dashed.

The club announced on Wednesday that the forward will be out for at least 21 days after suffering a lateral ankle ligament sprain during their barren draw with Gor Mahia at Thika Stadium last weekend.

As a result, Oluoch is set to miss three matches – a home clash with Vihiga Bullets, an away tie to AFC Leopards, and another home match against Bandari.

He will be subjected to a fitness test for the home match against Talanta at the end of the month, and could possibly miss that one too as it comes just days after his expected return period.

The former APS Bomet striker has not had a smooth season though as he has been out of action before due to injury, something that he earlier said was slowing him down in his quest to bag more goals.

In his absence, Erick Mata is expected to shoulder the burden of hunting for goals with the help of his teammates as Sharks seek to break into the top five.
