With Okumu a doubt for the game, Bristol City defender Zak Vyner could make his debut after earning a call up.

Bigirimana has found the back of the net in four of his last five matches for Burundi, and is one to watch in this clash.

The last time Fiston Abdul Razak started in attack was in the defeat to Gabon, but the Sur SC striker could be back in the XI for this one.

Kenya possible starting lineup:
Matasi; Omar, Vyner, Omurwa, Onyango; Muguna, Akumu, Odada, Nondi; Choka, Olunga

Burundi possible starting lineup:
Nahimana; Kanakimana, Mukombozi, Nsabiyumva, Ndayishimiye; Mvuyekure, Nduwarugira, Ntibazonkiza, Bigirimana; Razak
