ZESCO United and Kenyan international striker, Vincent Oburu is optimistic of making a return to the game after sustaining lengthy ankle injury which has kept him out of actions for over seven months.
Oburu introduced himself to the ZESCO United faithful in last season’s 2-1 victory over Nkana in which the Kenyan contributed an assist and a goal.
The Kenyan has however made tremendous progress and expects to be back in action sooner than later.
“It has been very frustrating to be out of the game for this long. But I must understand that there will be times like this. Nevertheless, I kept praying and am happy that am getting back in shape. I am very optimistic that by the time we play the upcoming matches, I will be ready.”
Oburu can’t wait to get back to action following the team’s recent victory against the Police Service sponsored Nkwazi side.
“It is great to see the team pick maximum points from the last game. This is good especially that I am now getting back to my feet. My major role now will be to contribute to the success of the team for the rest of the season.”
Meanwhile ZESCO United Head Coach, Mumamba Numba is excited with the progress so far made by Oburu.
“He has been training with us which is a sign that he is getting better by the day. I am hopeful that he will be match ready in the next two weeks,” Numba said.
