Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama will not feature in the Harambee Stars friendly against Mozambique set for September 2 in Maputo.
Wanyama's absence has been effected after his Spurs coach requested that he stay in England.
“Victor’s coach reached out to me and asked me to allow the player to remain in England because he hasn’t been in good shape. He picked up an injury in the third week of preseason and hasn’t recovered well,” said Harambee Stars Stanley Okumbi.
Also away from the travelling contingent is Belgium-based midfielder Johanna 'Tosh' Omollo who has requested exclusion to allow him settle down and fight for a starting position at his new club Cercle Brugge.
