Posta Rangers head coach Sammy Omollo believes this is an opportunity for the new defenders in the Harambee Stars team to win over the hearts of Kenyans.
In the absence of regulars like Musa Mohammed, David Owino, Brian Mandela, Aboud Omar, and Joseph Okuma, coach Francis Kimanzi has given call-ups to Brian Otieno, Mike Kibwage, Johnstone Omurwa, Hillary Wandera, Amai Atariza and Samuel Olwande.
Omollo insists this is a golden opportunity for those defenders in camp to stake their claim in the national team by performing above expectations.
