Masud handed recall in Stars squad to face Ghana

Harambee Stars coach Sébastien Migne has named a 24-man provisional squad for Kenya’s final Africa Cup of Nations Qualifying match against Ghana.

Former Kariobangi Sharks star Masud Juma who recently signed for Libyan side Al Nasr has made a return to the team that also features two debutants, David Sessay, and Christopher Mbamba, who ply their trade in England and Sweden respectively.

Duke Abuya (Kariobangi Sharks) and Faruk Shikalo (Bandari), have also gotten the coach’s nod.

Coach Migné has further named an additional five reserve players as a precautionary measure, who may be called upon to replace any of the 24 players in camp if need be.

The team is set to hit camp on March 17, 2019, in Nairobi ahead of the Ghana match which has been slated for March 23, 2019, in Accra.
