Leopards' duo of Mang’oli and Matasi join Stars camp

 Updated on 20/02/12  |    By DENNIS MACHIO

 

AFC Leopards midfielder Bernard Mang’oli and keeper Patrick Matasi have been called up to join the national soccer team’s camp Harambee Stars that is currently training at the Moi International training Center Kasarani.The two players have been impressive in their team’s opening fixture sin the Kenya Premier league.

Mang’oli was also in top form when the Kenyan Under 23 youth team played in international friendly matches against Senegal and Guinea earlier in the year.Mang’oli scored one of AFC Leopards’ goals on Sunday when his team beat former champions Mathare United 2-0 at the Nyayo stadium.

Confirming the call up to michezoafrika.com, Stars head  coach Francis Kimanzi said he has been impressed by the performance of the two and would love to observe them closely during training before naming his final squad that will face Togo on 29th February 2012.

The national team camp has also been affected by the absence of Tusker FC players who opted to take an early trip to Western Kenya in preparation for their oncoming KPL fixture against Western Stima on Wednesday. This left only one goalkeeper in camp and as such the need to call in Matasi.
