Kenya recall veteran midfielder Muiruri
NAIROBI (AFP) - Kenya has recalled Norway-based midfielder John Muiruri for the African Nations Cup return match in Swaziland in June, officials said on Friday.
The veteran midfielder missed the first leg won by Kenya 2-0 last month after the Harambee Stars failed to secure his release from his Norwegian club FK MOSS.
Coach Jacob Mulee said he had been assured that Muiruri, arguably one of the best midfielders in the country, would be available for the June 2 match in Mbabane and was included in the 37-man provisional squad he named on Friday.
He said the team, which will start residential training camp early next month, would play two build-up matches against neighbours Uganda and Tanzania before travelling to Swaziland.
Kenya is placed third behind Group six leaders Angola with three points from as many matches.
