Sebastien Migne has made three changes to the squad that will play against Tanzania in their second group stage game after a horrendous display for both teams in their respective openers.
David Owino ‘Calabar’ gets the starting nod at right back ahead of Gor Mahia’s Philemon Otieno. He will partner Abud Omar, Musa Mohamed and Joseph Okumu at the back, providing shield to Patrick Matasi.
Johanna Omollo, who came in as a substitute against Algeria, thus stabilizing Harambee Stars midfield, will start alongside Victor Wanyama, with Denis Odhiambo starting on the bench.
Eric Ouma ‘Marcelo’ replaces Erick Johanna on the left frank, this time not as a left-back but as a winger.
Francis Kahata, Ayub Timbe, and Michael Olunga will retain the places in the first 11 and will be tasked with the hunt for goals as Harambee Stars seek to topple noisy neighbors Tanzania.
