Harambee Stars head coach Sebastien Migne has hit out at national team captain Victory Wanyama after he failed to travel for the match against Ghana.
Wanyama had been named in the initial 38-man squad that got into camp for the all-important fixture but failed to turn up as expected.
The player has been battling niggling injuries over the past few months, but the coach expected him to report to training for assessment before the decision whether to play him or not could be reached upon.
“Wanyama should have traveled to Kenya so that our medical staff can assess his injury. We should be a bit professional in such situations. Even Hugo Lloris is injured but he reported to the French camp. We should change such attitudes going forward,” Migne said as quoted by Goal.
The coach was unhappy that even other players failed to turn despite being named, adding to his frustrations.
“It is a shame that out of the 38 players called up for national team duty only 24 turned up. I have given them until end of today (Wednesday), and if they don’t show up, they will not be considered for the match.”
Kenya will take on Ghana in the AFCON qualifier match on Saturday at the Moi Kasarani Stadium.
