I think he is great at not just surviving alone but can thrive alone similar to Jesse in the Mara. Seems bad things happen when he partners up. Nhena should stick with Jr and he might get lucky with another year or 2 healthy if he recovers. I totally agree with you @BigLion39 bro. It is clear that he is not ready for a coalition and may never be. And like you said, it is not about putting him down because I believe that all lions are brave, it is just that he's been alone for long time already when he joined Nhenha. But I still hope he could make himself ready to form a coalition with 2 more lions. 
@GhostCatP-22 this was a couple of days ago, Tumbela was sleeping close by.
I don't think there's any sighting of them after they ate the carcass.

Hopefully he won't remain in western sector after that. First time PC males made big move on Nkuchuma/Birmingham they chassed them both out of western sector. Second time (the recent one) they heavly injured Nhenha that he is on borderline surviving. Now if he link up with Nkuchuma male and they will still try to contest PC males dominance, Birmingham male probably will be killed on the spot. 
That injury doesn't look fully recoverable. At first I thought it was broken but the fact that he's mobile tells me there's some bad tendon and ligaments damage but it isn't a fully broken bone. Lions with broken legs usually stay at that spot till they die pretty much, Mohawk Matshpiri broke his leg and he just never moved from that position till he died even though his brother was around and calling unlike NK. This is probably not much different from BYM and it'll take months for him to regain mobility, he needs NK or another partner or the PCs will put Nhena away next time If starvation doesn't get him first.
If these 2 and Skorro join, that will improve things for all 3. They are quite familiar with each other by now and since the Birminghams are not in a state to challenge or even oppose the PCs anymore, I think there's a good chance of this happening actually.

Exactly, completely agree with you my friend @sik94. 
His leg looks shredded to me, doesnt look to have much control of it.a few week ago we didnt know if we would ever see nhenha again so its brilliant to actually see him and battling on, re-enforcing the never give up attitude lions have

I think the chances of all three joining eachother is quite low.
Nhenha is just to banged up to keep up with healthy lions and form the bonds needed in a coalition. While Nym and Skorro mostly stick to themselves and their favourite prides now. A coalition is not something lions create just to beat a bigger foe. Lets wait till we have at least one pairing before we can speculate about the third one joining.

This look worse than WD’s injury from year ago. Nobody can rule out his comeback but we have just enough footage to say that this is a nasty injury. Even if he recovers from this, won’t securing regular feeds is a problem now?

Hope that the PC boys don't find him. 
Yeah very doubtful his leg is actually broken. Muscle, tendons, ligaments likely torn, bruised, sprained. Remember Karibu in the Mara, broke his leg and basically had zero mobility. Nhenas leg looks similar to Baba Yao in the videos after Salas Boy gave him a beating. Baba was able to travel away deep into Paradise Pride territory from Topi plains and was never seen again. If legs get broken lions don't move basically at all.
