The Harambee stars squad to represent Kenya at the Afcon 2019 in Egypt has continued to elicit more reactions among excited Kenyan fans who are looking forward to one of the best tournaments in history.

Coach Sebastien Migne made a decision to leave out Zesco United striker Jesse Were despite enjoying stellar form in the Zambian Premier League and the CAF Confederations cup.

Migne has said he decided to leave out the lanky striker because he is not good enough to play for the national team at the moment.

“He has had the chance to impress for Kenya but on many occasions, he never lives up to the task. He has enjoyed over 26 call-ups but he never scores goals for the team.” The coach told journalists.

“Were might be the leading player currently in the Zambia league but he is yet to carry the form to the national team and all I can assure him is that the door is still open for him, we have not shut it for him.

Migne has maintained that Were still has a chance to play for the national team as long as he proves himself in future

“He will still play for the team but first of all, he must prove himself outside club duty.”

Migne has called up KPL top scorer Allan Wanga and Libya based Masud Jumma as the only out and out strikers in the team.  Sofapaka’s John Avere is the surprise name in the team, though the youngster has scored 7 goals this season. Michael Olunga is the big name in the list that alsos includes Paul Were and Ovella Ochieng.
