Harambee Stars top group J and are poised take on crucial double-header against Cameroon.

Harambee Stars midfielder Teddy Akumu says spirit is high in the Kenyan camp ahead of crucial double-header Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier fixture against Cameroon.

Kenya tops Group J with four points having won 2-1 against Namibia and drawn 0-0 against Zimbabwe.

Stars place ahead of their next opponents Cameroon on goal difference and will hope to pull further ahead with a strong showing against the Indomitabe Lions.

"As usual our confidence is high and we have very high morale. These two games are very crucial. We play away and home against Cameroon," expressed Akumu via Tata Sports.

The former Gor Mahia midfielder has however cautioned against being lenient in the back-to-back games.

"It is back-to-back and it is very important that we stay focused. I believe if we keep pushing ourselves and everybody gives their all then we can definitely get something from this fixture."

Stars have been in training camp at the Police Sacco Stadium pending their travel to Cameroon.

Harambee Stars' captain Michael Olunga has already joined the camp alongside foreign-based St Mirren's Jonah Ayunga.

Olunga will be a key addition to the squad having missed both fixture against Namibia and Zimbambwe.

Kenya travels to Cameroon on Tuesday for the first leg of their doubleheader in Yaoundé, set to take place on Friday.

The return leg is scheduled for four days later in Kampala, Uganda, as the Harambee Stars strive to secure their place in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
