Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Matasi and Timbe doubtful for Kenya vs Togo – Kimanzi

Harambee Stars are likely to face Togo in their second match of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers minus key players Patrick Matasi and Ayub Timbe.

The two players started the Group G opener against Egypt in Alexandria on Thursday but were pulled out after picking up injuries. Keeper Matasi, who features for St. George in Ethiopia, pulled a thigh strain while Timbe, of Beijing Renhe in China, suffered an ankle injury.

Matasi was replaced by Ian Otieno while Mathare United forward Cliff Nyakeya stepped in for Timbe as Kenya managed to secure a 1-1 draw against the Pharaohs with striker Michael Olunga getting the goal.
