goal.com, 29 September 2021, 10:32
Kenya will start preparations on Thursday before facing Mali for Group E's matchday three and four actions on October 7 and 10

New Harambee Stars coach Engin Firat has named a 34-man Harambee Stars squad with Farouk Shikhalo and Ismael Gonzalez recalled ahead of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Mali.

The players selected from the local clubs will start entering camp on Thursday, while the foreign-based ones - depending on their clubs' commitments - are expected to start arriving during the weekend.

Richard Odada - who made his debut against Uganda at Nyayo Stadium, has been maintained in the provisional team that also has Erick Kapaito, who finished the 2020/21 season as the Premier League's top scorer with 24 goals.

Kenya will travel to Mali on October 7 before hosting the West African rivals three days later for the return leg.
