Omollo did not expect Odhiambo to be in final Harambee Stars squad

The youngster is part of coach Engin Firat's squad that is preparing for their match away to Mali

Gor Mahia assistant coach Sammy Omollo says it was a plus for defender Frank Odhiambo to get a call-up to the provisional Harambee Stars squad even if he did not make the final one.

Kenya is scheduled to play Mali on Thursday in the 2022 World Cup qualifier in Agadir, Morocco. The tactician insists the inclusion is a confidence booster for the young defender.

Getting a place in the final team was a tough call

"I am happy for Odhiambo, getting that call up to Harambee Stars is never easy," Omollo told Goal.
