The Migori-based club suffered the setback in Nairobi while travelling to Machakos for a league match scheduled for Saturday.

National Super League (NSL) side Migori Youth have received a setback after a section of their players suffered injuries while on their way to Machakos for a match.

The club confirmed that a number of their players sustained injuries after the vehicle they were travelling in was involved in an accident along the Thika Super Highway on its way to Machakos where they are set to play MCF in an NLS encounter on Saturday.

“A section of Migori Youth Football Club players have been involved in a road accident along Thika Road while en route to Machakos for MCF FC game,” the club posted on social media.

The accident involved a van and a public service vehicle with the former damaged on one side although the severity of the injuries suffered by the players is yet to be known.

It is not the kind of situation Migori would have wished to find themselves in given their poor start to the season where they have managed just one win in their opening six games.

The club sit 17th on the table on five points after losing three and drawing two matches with only Cost Stima, the bottom-placed team, on one point, worse off.

The injured players were rushed to a nearby hospital while it is not known if the unfortunate incident will have a bearing on Saturday’s match.
