The goalkeeper was travelling to Nairobi in order to catch a flight to Addis Ababa Ethiopia to link up with his club when the accident happened.
Matasi plays for St George SC Club otherwise known as Kidus Giorgis, a professional football club based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The goalkeeper has since asked members of the public to help him settle his ballooning hospital bill.
“Hello friends, as I had already shared with you, my wife and son were scheduled for surgery, which they did. My wife was operated on on 7th June while my son underwent his surgery today,”
“As you all know, in these types of situations, bills spiral and sometimes become overwhelming, especially in this case where it’s three people that require medical attention.
“This is why I am requesting for you to support me as I run up and down to ensure all of us are finally healed and get back to our normal lives.
“I understand that times are hard, but whatever amount will be appreciated. Thank you and may God bless you.”
He is one of Kenya’s most established goalkeepers.
He was the number one goalkeeper when Kenya fought for a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations slot and was used prominently during the finals in Egypt.
Matasi made his debut for the national team in 2017 and has so far featured in 27 games for Harambee Stars, including the Cecafa finals when Kenya lifted the trophy under Paul Put.
