Hopeful

The midfielder was among the foreign based players named to feature in the friendly match, which will be Frenchman Henri Michel’s first in charge but immigration issues meant he couldn't leave Europe in time for the game though he is hopeful on the upcoming CECAFA Senior Challenge.

The Norwegian league in which he plays is soon drawing to a close and he will thereafter be in Kenya and, speaking to futaa.com, the midfielder said he will be available for selection as he looks forward to a long stay in the Kenyan national team.
