 Kenya striker Dennis Oliech is set to face Angola |
Kenya's new coach Timam Olaba has included Dennis Oliech and goalkeeper Arnold Origi in his squad to play Angola in Sunday's 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifier. Oliech, who plays for Nantes in France, missed a penalty while a fumble by Origi led to a goal as the Harambee Stars lost their opening Group Six match 2-1 to Eritrea.
Olaba, who replaced Frenchman Bernard Lama last month, excluded Origi briefly from the squad but then recalled him after public pressure.
"This is the team for the future and no one should rule us out of the 2008 finals yet," Olaba said.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Arnold Origi (Tusker), Francis Ochieng (Ulinzi)
Defenders: Edwin Mkenya (Yanga, Tanzania), Zablon Amanaka (unattached), George Owino (Tusker), Llyod Wahome (Gor Mahia), Ibrahim Shikanda (Mumias), Geoffrey Kokoyo (Ulinzi), Ahmed Yusuf (Mumias)
Midfielders: McDonald Mariga (Helsingborg, Sweden), Hilary Echesa (Yanga, Tanzania), Abdi Simba (Coast Stars), Mustafa Mohammed (Chemelil), Elvis Ayany (Ulinzi), Patrick Osiago (Tusker)
Forwards: Dennis Oliech (Nantes, France), Boniface Ambani (Tusker), Bernard Mwalala (Yanga, Tanzania)
