Kenyan football fans are in for a treat as Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has linked up with his teammates in Nairobi ahead of Sunday's international friendly match against Mozambique, set to take place at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, from 4pm.
Coach Francis Kimanzi has stated that the match will serve as an opportunity to fine-tune the squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Egypt and Togo in November.
Wanyama's return to the squad comes after a six-month absence, during which he last played for the national team at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in June.
His comeback is also a welcome boost for the team, which had been without him since Kenya's last international game against Uganda in September.
Wanyama's absence had sparked speculation about his future at Tottenham Hotspur, but he will now be hoping to regain his fitness and secure game time in the friendly match.
At the same time, Football Kenya Federation media officer Ken Okaka has confirmed that lead strikers Jesse Were and Michael Olunga are expected in camp any time from now, with Olunga set to arrive on Tuesday evening and Were on Wednesday.
Yusuf Mainge and Eric Ouma, who are based in Slovakia and Sweden respectively, are already in town, while Wazito's Johnstone Omurwa will miss the game due to an injury and has been replaced by teammate Bernard Ochieng.
