“He will be out of action for a couple of months. We wish him well during the recovery phase.”
Ochieng joined Wazito from Vihiga immediately after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, where Harambee Stars made a return after a 15-year absence but could not make it past the group stages.
In his absence, Wazito moved to sign Togolese player Esouf Bourhana from Ethiopian giants St. George in the January transfer window.
