Anyembe had been out since October due to a long injury layoff but made a comeback for Viborg against Randers on Sunday.
Harambee Stars defender Daniel Anyembe finally made his first appearance since suffering a nasty injury last October, coming on in the 70th minute for Viborg as they ended their bad run of form with a priceless 3-0 win over Randers.
Both Viborg and Harambee Stars had missed his services dearly while he was away. Anyembe missed Kenya’s last three international matches against Russia, Gabon, and Seychelles, and had made 11 league appearances before suffering his setback.
Anyembe will now be hoping he can regain his sharpness in order to help both Viborg and Kenya achieve their objectives.

STARS ABROAD The metrics showing why Harambee Stars defender Joseph Okumu is as good as William Saliba, Virgil Van Dijk and co
The metrics that indicate how Joseph Okumu is stylistically similar to some of the world's best defenders, such as Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate and PSG's Danilo Pereirra.
The defender was born and raised in Denmark, to a Kenyan father and a Danish mother, and before making his Harambee Stars debut against Iran, he revealed why he chose to play for his father’s country of birth.
“The Federation contacted me a few years ago but I ran into an injury. Now this year, we started talking again and I spoke to the coach. He called me and informed me of the project and he told me he had decided to have me," he said after his first training session.
"When he called, I was not in doubt that I was ready to come play for Kenya.
“He (coach Engin Firat) didn’t need to convince me much. He said he had been watching my game and liked how I play and he told me when I come here, I should express myself and be the player that he thinks I am and that I have the quality, but I have to show it.”
