Injured Thika Queens star Atieno a doubt for Trans Nzoia trip

Thika Queens will likely be without their in-form striker Wendy Atieno for their weekend’s home game against Trans Nzoia Falcons following her injury on Sunday.

Atieno, the Kenya Women Premier League goal-scoring leader with 13 goals, sustained a head injury during their 1-0 loss to Zetech Sparks.

She was discharged from hospital on Monday but Team Manager Glenstone Muganga says she may need more time to recover.

“We are worried about going to the Sunday’s return leg against Trans Nzoia without her. Her injury was so serious that we had to rush to hospital immediately and considering Juliet Andibo is also out,” said Muganga.

Muganga said they are waiting for the doctor’s report on her recovery period before deciding their attacking line-up.

“We cannot clearly say when she will be back on the pitch but if we get she will be out longer then we have to align our attack and use the players we have.”

Thika Queens are third in the KWPL standing with 21 points after 11 games played so far this season.
