Harambee Stars head coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has axed eight players from his provisional squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Gor Mahia trio of Benson Omala, Clifton Miheso and Samuel Onyango are among the players dropped from the national team, which has been in camp for the past six days preparing to host Uganda in a World Cup qualifier on September 2 in Nairobi before facing Rwanda later in Kigali.
Wazito FC’s top scorer in last season’s campaign, Kevin Kimani has also been released alongside KCB duo of Nahashon Alembi and Baraka Badi.
Kariobangi Sharks goalkeeper Brandon Obiero and former AFC Leopards defender Clyde Senaji complete the list of players who have been released.
The dropping of Obiero comes in the wake of Mulee’s criticism when he announced his squad last week after he was questioned for picking two goalkeepers Brian Bwire and Brandon Obiero from Kariobangi Sharks.
