Nyasa Big Bullets\u2019 out-of-contract goalkeeper, Vincent Gona, has been placed on a waiting list for surgery at Beit Cure International in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
Gona has been out of action for over a year due to a harmstring injury he suffered last season during a Carlsberg Cup quarterfinal against Mafco.<\/p>\n
Bullets\u2019 Acting-General Secretary, Kelvin Moyo, said the club paid for the treatment at Beit Cure.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we promised, we did our part and paid the money to the hospital in recognition of the outstanding service, which he offered to the team,\u201d Moyo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cVincent is now following the matter with the hospital and he might undergo an operation anytime. However, Gona himself is better placed to comment on the progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gona said he was placed on the waiting list as Dr. Nyengo Mkandawire\u2019s schedule was fully booked.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, indications are that I might be operated on within the next two weeks. I am really grateful for the support which several stakeholders, including my team Bullets, have given me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Lack of funds delayed Gona\u2019s surgery as Bullets struggled to source K3.6 million for the medical bill.<\/p>\n
Bullets hosted a friendly game against Be Forward Wanderers to raise funds for Gona but only raised K1.6 million.<\/p>\n
Gona was named TNM Super League\u2019s Goalkeeper of-the Season at the end of the 2014 season having guided Bullets to a domestic double.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
