“Deco” Mukuka frustrated by injury

Share

Chipolopolo and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Mulenga Mukuka says he is frustrated to have been sidelined by injury since July, 2013.

Injured Mukuka is yet to feature for his new club Sundowns since joining them from Power Dynamos in August.

The youngster said he was looking forward to kicking a ball at Sundowns.

“It’s very difficult to be sitting on the sidelines, not playing,” he told the club website.

“My job is to play football, and it’s been a very frustrating time for me.”
Mukuka revealed that he will soon start light training.

“But the good news is the medical team is working hard to get me back into shape. My check up this week showed that I am making good progress and so I will be able to start light work and then work towards full fitness,” he said.

Mukuka added:”I also know that there have been enquiries from Zambia about my status. All I can say is that they must be patient.”
He sustained the injury while playing for Zambia at the 2013 Cosafa Cup in Ndola.

  1. Nobody has enquired about you in zambia because you are not a factor, and that injury seems to be chronic ,iam not sure if sundowns did a comprehensive medical test on you as you seem to be a suspect, zambians remember very well whilst here everytime you were reported to have malaria etc Whats that?

  2. Indeed, I am one of those who kept on enquiring about this talented, promising footballer. I am happy to hear that he is on the mend. Wish you good luck Deco!

  3. I equally have been enquiring about the status of one Deco and now am happy to hear that you have made steady progress. All the best tomorrow we will be watching your colleagues at Levy Mwanawasa.

  4. Mukuka, We wish you quick recovery. We deeply miss you on the field of play. You are a rare talent in Zambian Football.

    GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH. REMEMBER EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAPPEN FOR A REASON. IN EVERY STORM THERE IS A BLESSING.PUT EVERYTHING IN GOD’S HAND.

  5. You anyoko you know yourself who posted that hurt message God forgive you for your deliberate insults on an innocent young man who is injured. Get some shame.
