Injured Victor Wanyama makes Kenya squad to face Ghana in Afcon qualifier

Macdonald Mariga has also been named in the provisional squad as well as striker Masoud Juma, formerly of Cape Town City

Injured Victor Wanyama is among 19 foreign-based players summoned by Harambee Stars coach Sébastien Migné ahead of Afcon qualifier against Ghana.

The game against the Black Stars will be staged on September 8, 2018, at the MISC Kasarani. The Tottenham midfielder picked an injury during Spurs' pre-season tour of the USA and was forced to return to London for treatment.

But despite the fact that Wanyama is expected to sit out for at least four weeks, Migne has still named him in his 38-man provisional squad.
