Mulee: Worried Kenya now has time to prepare for World Cup qualifiers

Harambee Stars head coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has welcomed Caf and Fifa’s move to postpone the World Cup qualifiers.

Mulee is set to lead the Kenyan national team in the qualifiers against Rwanda, Mali and Uganda and the first matches, that were scheduled for June, have been moved to the latter part of the year.

Owing to the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, Caf moved the matches that were to be played in mid-2021 to September and Mulee says the postponement would give local players time to prepare better.
