Harambee Stars head coach Sébastien Migné has listed 21 names from which he will select the team to face Ethiopia in a two-legged African Cup of Nations Qualifier next month.

The squad is largely made up of players who got the job done as Kenya secured back-to-back wins over Ghana and Malawi at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani (MISC) earlier this month.
