At the time, Mako collided with goalkeeper Richard Ofori as the duo were vying for the same ball, but the former found himself unconscious on the floor from the collision.

Mako had suffered concussion, and he has told the media that he didn’t feel anything after the incident, saying he only remembers waking up in hospital.

And when he woke up, Mako knew nothing about the incident because the only thing he could remember was him on the pitch playing for Pirates against Baroka.

Nonetheless, Mako said he’s getting better, and he has confirmed that he’s back in training although he will not feature for Pirates this season.
