Injury concerns loom large for Kenya as they prepare for the crucial return leg of their AFCON 2025 qualifier against Cameroon. Captain Michael Olunga and midfielder Anthony Akumu are both doubtful for the match, a significant blow confirmed by coach Engin Firat during the team’s final training session.
With Olunga having netted Kenya’s only goal in the previous encounter, the Turkish tactician faces the daunting task of reshuffling his lineup to revitalize their campaign in Group J, where they currently sit third with four points.
Reflecting on their last outing, which ended in a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Indomitable Lions, Olunga emphasized the need for tactical adjustments.
“Cameroon is a powerhouse with strength across all departments. We’ve analyzed our previous mistakes and are ready to exploit their weaknesses,” he stated confidently.
The match is set to kick off at 2 PM on October 14, 2024, in Kampala, and Kenya will be eager to turn their fortunes around against a side that has proven formidable in recent encounters. As they aim for redemption, the Harambee Stars must harness their collective spirit and execute a game plan that capitalizes on Cameroon’s vulnerabilities.
