Kenya Football Association is seeking clarification from FIFA over
the suspension of Harambee Stars captain, Dennis Oliech and goalkeeper
Arnold Origi for the June 5 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria in
Nairobi.
Origi who stood between the Eagles and goals in Calabar during the
first leg, confirmed receiving a letter from FIFA last Friday with
regards to his suspension from the crucial game.
“I can confirm that I was cautioned against Namibia and then against
Nigeria. But these things happen and the country should learn to move on
without me,” he told Goal.com.
However, Kenya FA secretary-general Michael Esakwa said that he was
hopeful that the duo will be back into the team that will play the
Eagles.
“We got a letter from Fifa on Friday informing us that two of our key
players are suspended for the June 5 World Cup qualifier against
Nigeria.
“However, according to our records this is not true because both players have not picked two yellow cards as claimed.
“We remain confident that Fifa will confirm the same for us
considering that both players remain important to our campaign in the
qualifiers,” Esakwa said.
