Kenya star Olunga to miss action as J-League is postponed due to coronavirus

The former Gor Mahia striker will not play for his side after the league was called off due to the coronavirus outbreak

Kenyan striker Michael Olunga will not be active for the next two weeks after Japan's J-League postponed all football matches until mid-March 15 over the coronavirus outbreak, which has affected dozens of sports events worldwide.

Olunga, who features for promoted side Kashiwa Reysol, had opened the season with two goals as they beat Consadole Sapporo 4-2 in the league opener last Saturday.

Olunga’s Kashiwa were due to play in the domestic Cup against Shonan Bellmare on Wednesday but the match has also been called off.
