Afcon: Christopher Mbamba and Clifton Miheso axed from Harambee Stars’ Afcon squad

Four players have been dropped from Harambee Stars as coach Sebastien Migne picked his final squad for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

Injured defender Brian Mandela, Clifton Miheso, Christopher Mbamba, and Anthony Akumu have all been dropped ahead of the tournament that will kick-off on June 21 in Egypt.

Mbamba failed to recover from an ankle injury he picked up in his last match before checking into camp, Mandela also injured his knee during Monday’s training session and has been ruled out of the tournament.

Musa Mohamed, who picked up a knock in Kenya’s first pre-Afcon friendly match against Madagascar, has been included in the list, as has Abud Omar, who limped off late in the match.
