Sports Club Villa Jogoo defender Bernard Muwanga has been ruled out of action for at least two months with a simple fractured fibula bone on the right leg.
The defender who won the CECAFA 2015 football gold with Uganda Cranes was injured in the club’s 1-0 victory over Jinja Municipal Council Hippos at Nelson Mandela National Stadium on match day three of the Azam Uganda Premier League.
I feel a lot of pain but i expect to recover well and return very strongly
Muwanga, formerly a skipper at Bright Stars F.C transferred to the Jogoos at the end of the 2015/16 season.
He featured in the club’s goal-less draw against Police on match day one of the current season before featuring in their second away game to Sadolin Paints in Jinja which SC Villa won 2-0.
In the fateful third match, he got injured with 20 minutes left on the clock after blocking a goal bound shot.
A day after the match, he underwent a scan at Kibuli Hospital in Kampala and it was discovered he had a broken fibula bone that called for the plastering on the leg.
Absence away from club duty means the Jogoos have to seek quick answers to find the replacement.
Utility player Ayub Kisaliita, Muhammed Swalladah, Patrick Mbowa are highly tipped to replace Muwanga and partner Ibrahim Kiyemba at the heart of central defence of the Jogoos.
SC Villa plays Lweza next on Saturday (10th September 2016) at the Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
About the Fibula Bone:
The fibula or calf bone is a leg bone located on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and, in proportion to its length, the slenderest of all the long bones.
