Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has received advice from a Kenyan striker based in South Africa ahead of the country's upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter against Bafana Bafana.

The Kenyan forward has identified one particular South African international whom he believes McCarthy should pay close attention to when preparing his team for the important fixture.

The recommendation comes as Kenya prepares to face South Africa in a match that will attract considerable attention from football supporters across both countries.

McCarthy, who enjoyed a successful playing career with several European clubs before representing Bafana Bafana, is now responsible for leading Kenya's national team.

The former Manchester United striker understands South African football very well, having spent several years representing his country at international level. His knowledge of the football environment could also make the encounter particularly interesting.

However, the advice from the Kenyan striker has added another talking point ahead of the meeting, especially with one Bafana Bafana player being singled out as someone Kenya should target.

South Africa have several experienced and talented players in their squad, and Kenya will need to prepare carefully to deal with the different threats posed by the opposition.

For McCarthy, the challenge will be finding the right tactical approach and ensuring that his players execute their responsibilities when the two nations meet.

The Kenyan striker's recommendation also highlights the respect South African players command among footballers competing in the local game.

With both countries looking to strengthen their positions in the race for qualification, the encounter promises to be an important test for the two national teams.

McCarthy will now have plenty to consider as he prepares Harambee Stars for the challenge of facing his former national team.
