Experienced goalkeeper Arnold Origi and Bransley defender Clarke Oduor have been made it to coach Francis Kimanzi’s 34-man provisional squad for the upcoming friendly match against the Chipolopolo of Zambia.
Origi last featured for Harambee Stars five years ago and and his great form with HIFK Fotboll in the Finnish Veikkausliiga see him make a return to the international fold.
Kashiwa Reysol’s Michael Olunga, Impact Montreal’s Victor Wanyama and Cercle Brugge’s Johanna Omollo may miss the upcoming match due to strict Covid -19 regulations imposed by the countries from which they ply their trade.
The match, which is a build-up to the upcoming back to back Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Comoros, has been scheduled for October 10, 2020, at the MISC Kasarani, behind closed doors.
