Lewis Bandi and Ronald Reagan have been ruled out of today’s CECAFA U23 semifinal match against Burundi due to injury.
The duo picked up knocks in Kenya’s final Group C match against Djibouti, but the coach remains optimistic that the two will be available on the final day of action this Friday.
Emerging Stars finished top of Group C with six points, ahead of South Sudan and Djibouti, and will face off against Burundi, who came out top in Group B ahead of hosts Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Tanzania, who finished top of Group A, has been drawn against South Sudan, the best runners-up out of the three groups.
The first semifinal has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 27, 2021, at 11.45 am, before the Emerging Stars take to the pitch at 2 pm at the Bahir Dar Stadium in Ethiopia and will be aired LIVE on Azam.
