NAIROBI Wholesale Francisco Cervelli Jersey , Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- Kenya will be without their captain and English Premier League (EPL) side Tottenham Hotspur star, Victor Wanyama for their three international week friendlies next week.
Wanyama withdrew from the squad that will play Mozambique, Togo and Mauritania as he struggles to recover fully from a niggling ankle injury.
The Kenyan captain played the full 90 minutes for Spurs in their defeat to EPL champions Chelsea at Wembley last weekend having featured for only 10 during their 2-0 victory at Newcastle United FC in the opening fixture of the season.
Wanyama was included in the 15-man foreign based squad announced by Kenya head coach, Stanley Okumbi on Tuesday but it is understood he will turn down his latest call-up to focus on regaining his match fitness after a poor pre-season.
Without his influential captain Wholesale Gregory Polanco Jersey , Okumbi has many options in midfield from his preliminary squad of 51.
At the same time, former first choice keeper, Arnold Origi who was recalled to the side by Okumbi is a doubtful having acquired Norwegian citizenship.
Origi who plays for Lillestrom SK last featured for Stars 17 months ago in their opening 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier before being frozen out of the squad under a cloud of controversy.
In his absence, his application for Norwegian citizenship sailed through and the keeper is expected to issue a statement clarifying on his status after Okumbi called him up in the Kenyan team.
His cousin Wholesale Jung-ho Kang Jersey , Divock Origi, plays as a striker for EPL giants Liverpool FC having declared for Belgium where he was born to retired Kenyan international forward, Mike Origi Okoth.
Kenya is scheduled to play the three friendlies during the FIFA International week from next Tuesday to Sept. 4 in Morocco.

PORTO ALEGRE, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Paulinho and Philippe Coutinho struck second-half goals as Brazil won their ninth consecutive World Cup qualifier with a 2-0 victory over Ecuador on Thursday.
Paulinho found himself unmarked following a Willian corner and thumped in from close range before second-half substitute Coutinho combined with Gabriel Jesus to double the hosts' lead.
The result at Gremio Arena saw Brazil move to 36 points in the 10-team South American zone standings Wholesale Dave Parker Jersey , 11 points clear of second-placed Colombia. Ecuador stayed on 20 points, three points shy of the automatic qualification places.
"It was a tough match and an important result because we were able to carry on the great momentum that we've been building," Chelsea midfielder Willian told Globo TV after the match.
Brazil's talismanic forward Neymar had a frustrating night in his first international match since completing a world record 222 million-euro move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona. The 25-year-old rarely threatened Ecuador's defence and his best chance came minutes before the end when a long-range effort flew just wide.
As expected, Coutinho began on the bench Wholesale Barry Bonds Jersey , having not played for Liverpool for almost a month amid speculation linking him with Barcelona.
After a first half in which Brazil looked in control but lacked inspiration, the playmaker was introduced on the hour mark and he immediately changed the course of the match.
Suddenly, the Selecao looked more composed going forward and in the 69th minute the hosts got their reward when Willian's corner fell to Paulinho, who appeared to have all the time in the world to blast his shot in from the edge of the six-yard box.
Minutes later Wholesale Bill Mazeroski Jersey , Coutinho glided past two defenders and lofted a perfectly weighted pass into the path of Gabriel Jesus. The Manchester City forward then flicked the ball over his opponent's head and headed a pass back to Coutinho who guided a first-time shot past goalkeeper Maximo Banguera.
In other South American zone qualifiers, two-time World Cup winners Argentina remained outside the automatic qualification places for football's showpiece tournament in Russia next year after a 0-0 draw with Uruguay.
The Albiceleste's front three of Lionel Messi, Paulo Dybala and Mauro Icardi created plenty of chances but were unable to find a way past a disciplined Uruguay defence at Estadio Centenario.
Luis Suarez, who started the match despite battling a knee injury Wholesale Starling Marte Jersey , limped off the pitch in the 83rd minute and appears doubtful for Uruguay's next qualifier against Paraguay on Tuesday.
Argentina remained fifth in the standings with 23 points, a point behind third-placed Uruguay, with three matches remaining in the CONMEBOL qualifying tournament.
The top four teams will earn a direct berth at next year's World Cup in Russia while the fifth-ranked side will book an intercontinental playoff spot.
Earlier, Paraguay kept their slim qualification hopes alive with a shock 3-0 defeat of reigning Copa America champions Chile in Santiago.
Victor Caceres and Richard Ortiz scored in the second half after a 24th-minute own goal from Arturo Vidal.
Meanwhile Wholesale Josh Harrison Jersey , Colombia and Venezuela played out a 0-0 draw in the Venezuelan city of San Cristobal.
