Rwanda set arrival date for foreign-based stars ahead of Cape Verde tie

Rwanda national team head coach Vincent Mashami has confirmed all foreign-based players are expected in camp on October 25.

Mashami included Kevin Monnet-Paquet in his provisional squad that is preparing to tackle Cape Verde in November for an African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The 32-year-old Monnet-Paquet – born to a Rwandan mother and a French father and plays for Saint Etienne - has been called up for the first time after representing France at junior level.
