Malkia Strikers, as they are fondly referred to, are preparing for the Africa Olympic Games qualifiers slated for January 5 to 9 in Yaounde, Cameroon. Chepchumba, 21, has emerged as a key player for Malkia Strikers this year having starred in the African Games where Kenya bagged gold and at the World Cup where she was Kenya’s top scorer with 102 points. Head coach Paul Bitok revealed that the medical team is working around the clock to have Chepchumba fit before he names his final squad of 14 on Tuesday. We are just a week away from the competition but the medical team is keen on having her back in three or five days,” Bitok told Nation Sport.
