Kenya's Harambee Stars has left their fans stunned after hinting that their blockbuster AFCON match against Senegal could be their last in the 2019 competition.
The team's social media handlers posted a message on Twitter, stating that captain Victor Wanyama had treated the team to dinner ahead of their final group stage match against Senegal.
The message, which included a series of pictures of the players giving a thumbs up, was interpreted by many as a sign that Kenya is set to play its last Group C match before the knock-out stage sets in.
However, the post did not sit well with many of the fans, who questioned the mentality of the team after showing a spirited and exemplary performance against Tanzania's Taifa Stars on Thursday night.
Kenya face the Lions of Teranga on Monday at 10pm and a win or draw will give them an excellent chance of progressing to the next round depending on results in other groups.
A lethal Michael Olunga scored twice as Kenya edged Tanzania 3-2 in Cairo to keep alive hopes of reaching the second round in the Africa Cup of Nations.
