Mieno suffered the injury in KCB’s last league match against Gor Mahia, which saw the Bankers claim a 2-1 victory. The club has since confirmed the extent of the injury following medical scans and wished their captain a successful and speedy recovery.
Despite the setback, KCB head into their next assignment on the back of a positive run of results, having collected 10 points from their opening five matches.
The Bankers began their campaign with a 2-2 draw against Nairobi United before recording a 1-0 victory over Mathare United. They subsequently suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Posta Rangers but bounced back with a 3-1 win against Mombasa United.
Their latest outing saw them register an important 2-1 victory over Gor Mahia, taking their tally to three wins, one draw and one defeat from five matches.
KCB will now turn their attention to their Round Six assignment against APS Bomet, scheduled for tomorrow, in the opening fixture of the round.
