Afcon Qualifier: Kenya's Olunga, Onyango, two others Covid-19 positive ahead of Togo tie - report

Four Harambee Stars players have reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations Group G qualifier against Togo at Kegue Stadium in Lome on Monday evening.

Unconfirmed reports indicate Al-Duhail striker Michael Olunga, Simba SC defender Joash Onyango, Zesco United goalkeeper Ian Otieno, and Sofapaka midfielder Lawrence Juma have tested Covid-19 positive and as a result, they have not been included in the squad to play the Sparrowhawks.

Subsequently, Ulinzi Stars custodian James Saruni will start in goal while Clyde Senaji takes Onyango's place in defence alongside KCB's Nahashon Alembi.
