Olunga scored for the national team against Rwanda, but he is putting the team's ambitions first Kenya captain Michael Olunga insists getting a win against Rwanda in their World Cup qualifier on Sunday is more important than having his name on the scoresheet.

The celebrated attacker has struggled to get a goal for Kenya of late, with his last strike coming way back in November 2019 in 1-1 draw away to Egypt in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Speaking to Goal ahead of the Harambee Stars' match against Amavubi in Group E of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the forward insists the team is well prepared.

'We are coming here for a mission' "It is going to be a big game but we are prepared for the challenge," Olunga told Goal. "We are coming into the game days after a 0-0 draw against Uganda. The players are now more motivated, we are coming here for a mission. Of course, we have to respect the opponent, but at the same time we have planned well, we know our tactics.

"I believe it is going to be a good encounter. Football is a teamwork game, not an individual one. If I score or another player scores it doesn't matter as long as the team wins and bags maximum points. "Each game presents an opportunity for us to go out there and fight for the country. Whoever is going to be given the opportunity, be it me, be it another striker it doesn't matter since each and everyone is willing and ready to work for the team and Kenya as a whole."
