KENYA'S Harambee Stars take on Namibia's Brave Warriors in a 2010 World Cup and African Cup of Nations qualifier tomorrow.
In their first meeting in May this year in Windhoek, the Namibians beat their Kenyan counterparts 2-1 with Namibia's goals coming via Wilko Risser and Costa Khaiseb.
The two strikers have once again been named in the 18-man squad by Warriors coach Tom Saintfiet.
"We have laid the red carpet for your Brave Warriors in Nairobi. Namibia has beaten us three times in a row and we are really worried about the September 6 game. The fact that we are missing several of our top players for the match makes it tougher," James Wokabi, Sports Editor of Nairobi's 98.4 Capital FM, told Namibia Sport via e-mail.
Kenya will be without key man and striker Dennis Oliech, who is serving a one-match ban following accrued yellow cards.
Also missing from Kenya's squad is first-choice goalkeeper Arnold Origi who is out with an injury he suffered against Zimbabwe in Nairobi in June this year.
But coach Francis Kimanzi has a bigger pool of players to rely on tomorrow, with a handful of foreign-based players available for the crunch match.
Nationwide Media reports that Czech Republic-based striker Patrick Oboya and Parma FC midfielder McDonald Maringa have all joined the Harambee Stars camp from their clubs abroad.
A capacity crowd of more than 40 000 is expected to cheer on the Harambee Stars tomorrow, according to reports from Kenya.
