Benny McCarthy talks about why he didn't call up Gor Mahia and Tusker FC players

Benni McCarthy, after calling up any player from the Gor Mahia and Tusker FC teams in the Kenyan Premier League for the two qualifying matches against Gabon and Gambia, the two matches that ended with the Harambee Stars tied against Gambia by 3-3, and the harsh loss against Gabon by a score of 3-1, which put the South African under great pressure due to his decisions to choose the squad.

What did the Harambee Stars coach say about this!

Regarding this matter, the South African coach stressed that he had no other option due to the request of the two clubs to keep their players for a longer time with them for some time as they had league commitments, Tusker playing Posta Rangers while Gor Mahia faced Bandari.

When I arrived, I requested three days to evaluate some of the top players in the Kenyan league, The players available during that period are the ones I selected. Gor Mahia and Tusker asked for permission to keep their players, and we agreed. But I can't select players I haven’t seen in action or know nothing about, which is why none of them were in the squad.

McCarthy said to Mozzart Sport.
