Harambee Stars defender Brian Mandela is set to undergo surgery on his right knee on Wednesday, June 19, 2019, in France.
This follows an injury he sustained in training in the run-up to Kenya’s departure to Egypt for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Mandela had a Meniscus tear and was consequently ruled out of the tournament as coach Sébastien Migné named his 23-man final squad.
