Harambee Stars top goalkeeper Arnold Origi will not be available for the weekend Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho. Origi confirmed on his official Facebook account that he will not be able to travel for the crucial fixture scheduled for Maseru owing to club duties. He said: "Confederation of African Football (Caf) should seriously think on how they plan and set up their fixtures. It's difficult to be released for games outside the dates set by Fifa for international matches." Origi also missed Kenya's first-leg fixture against Comoros Islands in Nairobi owing to similar concerns but was available for the return match. Kenya last qualified for the Africa Nations Cup in 2004 in Tunisia.
