Kenyan football fans are abuzz with excitement as Harambee Stars head coach Francis Kimanzi has called up Tusker forward Timothy Otieno to the national team ahead of the Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup slated for December 7 to 19 in Uganda.
Otieno, the Kenyan Premier League top scorer with seven goals, has gotten the nod alongside Western Stima custodian Samuel Odhiambo who replaces the injured Brian Bwire.
Bandari sensation Mohamed Katana has also been called up.
Kenya has been pooled in Group 'C' alongside Tanzania, Djibouti, and Zanzibar, and will be looking to defend the title they won in December 2017 in Machakos.
The top two teams in each group, as well as two best losers from the three groups, will proceed to the tournament's quarter-finals.
