Arnold Origi: Kimanzi set to recall veteran keeper for Harambee Stars duty

Harambee Stars coach Francis Kimanzi is keen to hand goalkeeper Arnold Origi another chance to play for the national team.

According to People Daily, Kimanzi has already talked Origi out of international retirement and sent him an invite to join the team for preparations ahead of a crucial 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Comoros on March 25.

According to inside sources, who spoke to the newspaper, the decision by Kimanzi to force Origi out of retirement is to give him more options between the posts after first-choice custodian Patrick Matasi fumbled in his last match for the team, during a 1-1 draw against Egypt.
