Cheche, a senior member of Harambee Stars, opted out of the ongoing national team assignments against Mozambique and Liberia so as to compete in his club’s crucial fixtures.

The former Nairobi Stima and Tusker FC defender has in the past been linked with a move to Europe, with clubs in Sweden and Denmark known to be particularly interested.
