Ng’ambi in another injury scare

Flames midfielder Robert Ng’ambi is nursing yet another injury ahead of this Saturday’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mali’s Eagles in Bamako.

Ng’ambi disclosed in a telephone interview from South Africa on Saturday that he is recovering from a calf-muscle injury he picked during the MTN8 semi-final second leg between his club Platinum Stars and Kaizer Chiefs.

However, Ng’ambi played down fears of missing the Mali encounter.

“It’s not that serious and I should definitely be available for the match,” he said.

Ng’ambi said he is looking forward to making a return for national duty in Mali after being restricted by injuries for almost a year.

Ng’ambi last played for the Flames in September last year against Nigeria in a World Cup qualifier away in Calabar which the Flames lost 2-0.

He also spoke of the failure to defend the MTN8 tournament after being booted out by Kaizer Chiefs 5-0 on aggregate.

“It was frustrating to be kicked out in the semi-finals, but we have switched focus to other competitions,” said Ng’ambi.

He was the centrepiece for Stars triumph last year in which he was named player of the tournament.
