Ahead of their 2021 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Harambee Stars, Togo coach Claude Le Roy has identified three Kenya players who will pose a threat to his side.

Kenya are coming off a morale-boosting 1-1 draw against Egypt in Alexandria and sit second on Group G, two points behind leaders Comoros.

Togo had a disastrous start to their qualifying campaign after losing 1-0 at home to lowly-ranked Comoros and sit bottom of the group.

Speaking after their arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Le Roy pinpointed three danger players in the Harambee Stars squad.

“We know it will be tough on Monday against a very good team with a lot of good strikers playing in Japan (Michael Olunga) and China (Ayub Timbe) and (Victor) Wanyama in the middle playing in the Premier League and good defenders," he was quoted saying.
“You cannot make a good result in Alexandria if you are not a good team. I hope the players will not have any pressure, we need experience to be able to survive after a bad result," he added.

The match is penciled for Monday, November 18, at the MISC Kasarani, in a 7 PM kick-off.
