Kabras Sugar RFC captain George Nyambua has undergone successful knee surgery and is expected to spend the next six months on the sidelines as he begins his recovery.
Speaking exclusively to Two5Four Rugby this morning after touching down at Kisumu International Airport, the experienced forward revealed that he suffered the injury earlier this year during a training session.
“I tore my meniscus and cartilage early this year in training,” Nyambua told Two5Four Rugby.
The surgery was successfully carried out at Coptic Hospital in Nairobi, with the Kabras skipper now back in Kakamega, where he will start his rehabilitation and recovery process.
The six-month layoff means Nyambua is set to miss some opening fixtures of the 2026/27 Kenya Cup season as he focuses on regaining full fitness before returning to competitive rugby.
Nyambua has been a pivotal figure for the sugar millers, captaining the side during one of the most successful periods in the club’s history. His leadership has been instrumental in Kabras’ domestic dominance, including their recent 5- peat Kenya Cup triumphs.
Despite the setback, the club will be encouraged by the successful operation, with hopes that the influential captain will make a full recovery and return stronger ahead of the latter stages of the 2026/27 season.
His absence will leave a significant leadership gap, but Kabras will look to their depth as they prepare for the upcoming campaign while their captain continues his road to recovery.
