Harambee Stars 2019 AFCON Squad to be named on Tuesday

Harambee Stars head coach Sebastian Minge is set to announce the squad that will represent Kenya in both the 2019 African Cup Of Nations(AFCON) and African Nations Championship qualifiers on Tuesday  14th May.

Migne to was pressured unveil his provisional squad to allow the time to blend early enough ahead of the next month’s Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Stars will be making their fifth appearance at the continental showpiece slated to run from June 21 to July 19 in Egypt and pundits have opined that Stars stand a chance of reaping positive results if the squad is confined to a residential camp for long.

Migne is yet to name his provisional squad for the finals and there are no signings of doing so soon.

The delay, which has been attributed to the ongoing domestic leagues, has left stakeholders guessing of who will make it to the 26-man provisional squad that will camp in Paris, France from May 31.

Kenya will face Senegal, Algeria and Tanzania in the pool and Oduor believes with discipline and hard work, the Kenyan boys will seal a place in the round of 16.

“Impossible is nothing in the world of football and Kenya should not be written off. We have seen big sides fall recently to teams labelled as minnows and I think we have a chance to proceed to the second round.

“The players should have unquestionable discipline and hard work for them to achieve the target.

“We have heard cases of players sneaking from the camp which has led to poor results and I want to caution the players to maintain and watch their demeanour.

“At the continental level, you have to work both hard and smart for there is no shortcut especially when you are coming up against favourites. It’s an opportunity the players have to capitalise on and do it for the country as well as showcase their talent to the millions who will be watching.”
