Kenya’s Harambee Stars first choice keeper Arnold Origi of Lillestrom,Norway will not be available for Wednesday 7,FIFA World qualifier against Mauritius.

The experienced stopper explained to Soka25east.com that Kenyan FA did not send him air ticket to travel for game.

“FKF failed to send me air ticket to come for the match. I feel unwanted because I have not been refunded the money I used to purchase air ticket when I came for the Zambian match last month,”

Kenya fell 2-1 to Zambia last month in an AFCON 2017 qualifier played at Nyayo Stadium, Nairobi, a match Origi played.

“Other players who used their money to purchase air tickets were either refunded fully or partly but for me I recieved nothing. It’s like I’m not needed in the team.” He added

Stars team are already in Mauritius ahead of the two legged encounter. Only two foreign based players travelled with the team with the rest expected join the team by latest tomorrow Tuesday.
