STARS ABROAD Omurwa’s status at Estrela Amadora raises eyebrows after he is omitted from squad for sixth match in a row
Johnstone Omurwa has made 15 top-flight appearances for Estrela this season, but has been left out of the side's last six matches, raising concerns among Kenyan fans.
“So far so good. Of course, not everyone is in camp yet and we are waiting for the foreign based players to join,” Akumu said.
“All local based players are around. We are waiting for foreign based players to join us but we have enjoyed training for the first two days.”
Akumu believes that the teams they will face will be a good test for their credentials. The tournament will also feature Zimbabwe and 2023 AFCON side Zimbabwe.
“Preparation has been good. We will be facing some of these teams ahead I am sure so it's a privilege and a tournament that will build us significantly as a team.”
