Harambee Stars coach Francis Kimanzi is happy that most of the players that were called up to the national team ahead of this weekend’s friendly international against Mozambique have already hit camp.
Kimanzi revealed his satisfaction with the team’s training session at Kasarani and the near full house attendance.
“We are happy that most of the players have reported to camp," said Kimanzi. “The team training sessions are good and if keep the morale we will be able to get a positive result.”
This will be Kimanzi’s second match in charge of the Stars after leading to a 1-1 draw against Uganda in his first match of his second stint in charge of the national team.
Stars entered their third day of residential training on Wednesday ahead of the scheduled friendly match against Mozambique.
All players initially called up have checked in save for Michael Olunga, who was set to report last evening. Skipper Victor Wanyama alongside Zesco United teammates Jesse Were and Teddy Akumu were part of the team’s training yesterday morning.
