Jacob Mulenga has encountered more unfortunate news, as he is set to be sidelined from the pitch until 2014 due to a recent injury. The diagnosis, established by doctors after the injury occurred during a match against Vitesse Arnhem with his club Utrecht in the Eredivisie (Dutch first division), reveals that Mulenga is suffering from muscle pain. The MRI results confirm that the player will not be available for action before the winter break, as communicated by the Dutch club.
This setback adds to the series of injuries that previously prevented Mulenga from participating in Chipolopolo’s crucial match against Ghana last September. The player will now undergo a period of recovery and rehabilitation before being able to return to the field in the new year.
