World Cup Qualifiers: 'Mali assignment difficult, but not impossible for Kenya' - Olunga

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga believes the team is mentally prepared and ready for 'a difficult but not impossible challenge' against Mali in their 2022 World Cup qualifier on Thursday.

While the East Africans have collected two points from their opening two matches in Group E, the Eagles have collected four and are favourites to advance from the pool. But the towering forward is optimistic the Engin Firat-led team has what it takes to get a positive outcome away.

'Players are here to give their best'

"Preparations have been good and all players are mentally prepared and it is a great opportunity," Olunga told Goal.
