What you need to know:

  • Coach Mulee hints at keeping faith in faltering striker Masoud Juma in Sunday night’s game
  • Juma, Ayub Timbe and the enigmatic Cliff Nyakeya will likely lead the attack with John Makwatta and namesake John Avire providing options, if need be
  • Kenya, having won one of last four matches against Comoros with the other fixtures culminating in draws, need victory on Sunday

Kenya’s Harambee Stars face a must-win clash against Comoros at the Malouzini Stadium in Moroni from 7pm (Kenyan time) Sunday night and coach Jacob “Ghost” Mulee, who is eyeing the team's first win in four 2021 Africa Nations Cup qualification outings, has issued a rallying cry to his charges.

The Stars contingent landed in Moroni at mid-day Saturday aboard a chartered Jambojet plane after a five-hour flight from Nairobi and were booked in at the Golden Tulip Hotel.
