Michael Olunga is in line to captain Kenya in Sunday’s international friendly against Uganda at the Moi International Sports Center in Kasarani, Nairobi.

Team captain Victor Wanyama will miss this match after he has excused himself on medical grounds, although Nairobi News understands the midfielder is seriously considering international retirement.

Zambia based defender Musa Mohammed, who was the assistant captain during former coach Sebastian Migne’s reign, has not been called up for this assignment.

David ‘Calabar’ Owino and Brian Mandela have also captained this team in the past, but both have similarly been excluded. That leaves Olunga and Patrick Matasi as the senior players in the team.

These two are the most productive players in the squad for the past year. “We are looking forward to having a good game and it would be better if fans turned up to support the team in this match,” Olunga said.
