The Second batch of Lionesses, currently in precautionary holding in Tokyo, is expected to link up with the rest of Team Kenya at their residential training camp on Friday, July 16.

The “Lionesses” squad of six players and team manager Camilyne Oyuayo, have been held back in Tokyo as a procedural precaution after one of the passengers on their Qatar Airways flight to Tokyo from Doha tested positive for Covid-19.
