The situation has once again brought attention to the selection of players by Harambee Stars head coach Benni McCarthy ahead of Kenya's upcoming international matches against South Africa.
Gor Mahia have several players involved in the national team preparations, including goalkeeper Byrne Omondi, defenders Frank Odhiambo and Sylvester Owino, and forward Ben Stanley.
Midfielder Alpha Chris Onyango has also earned a return to the national team setup following his impressive performances for Gor Mahia in the ongoing 2026/27 SportPesa League season.
Onyango has scored five goals in his first six league appearances, making him one of the standout performers in the domestic competition.
His return further strengthens Gor Mahia's presence in the national team and gives the club another reason to celebrate its players' performances.
On the other hand, AFC Leopards have continued to raise concerns about the absence of their players from Harambee Stars selections.
In October, AFC Leopards Secretary General Isaac Mulindi questioned the national team technical bench after the club failed to secure representation in the senior national team squad.
Mulindi expressed frustration over the continued omission of Ingwe players, arguing that the club deserved recognition for its performances in domestic competitions.
However, national team selections are ultimately made by the technical bench based on the players considered suitable for the team's needs.
Harambee Stars are preparing for a two-legged AFCON 2027 qualifying assignment against South Africa. The first match will take place on November 13 in Johannesburg, while the return fixture is scheduled for November 17 at Nyayo National Stadium.
