Like Uganda, Like Kenya. Harambee Stars coach Sebastien Migne has dropped Kenya Premier League top scorer Allan Wanga from the 2019 Afcon squad.
Wanga scored 18 goals for Kakamega Home Boyz where he finished the season as coach-player but Migne isn’t interested.
Migne announced the 27-man squad on Thursday ahead of the camp in France where the team will spend over 19 days before their first Africa Cup of Nations appearance since 2004.
Like in Uganda where Juma Balinya was dropped and two unattached players in Hassan Wasswa and Godfrey Walusimbi named, Migne has also included unattached Masoud Juma.
Nevertheless, usual suspects Victor Wanyama, Ayub Timbe, Michael Olunga, and Francis Kahata among others make the squad.
Kenya is expected to face Madagascar and DR Congo in friendly matches in France.
They are in Group C along with neighbours Tanzania, Algeria and West Africans Senegal.
