Kenya have confirmed their 27-man squad for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Egypt and Togo.
Coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has called on foreign-based stars Michael Olunga, Masud Juma, Anthony Akumu, Eric Ouma and Joseph Okumu.
The Harambee Stars will host the Pharaohs on 25th March, before travelling to Togo in the last game of the qualifiers in Group G, on 29th March.
Record 7-time African champions Egypt, are currently tied with Comoros on 8 points at the top of the group and both of them are likely to be the teams to qualify unless the Kenyans can beat Egypt and Togo to qualify.
Kenya is currently third in the group with 3 points so only wins from both their games can give the team hopes of qualifying, while Togo on 1 point are out of contention for making the AFCON finals.
Here is Kenya’s squad for the games against Egypt and Togo.
