“Victor Wanyama is unavailable this weekend following an injury sustained to his left knee in the game against West Ham on Wednesday,” Spurs tweeted on Friday evening, news that could leave Harambee Stars head coach Sebastien Migne scratching his head ahead of Kenya's crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone on November 18 in Nairobi.

The defensive midfielder has since gone on to play 77 matches for the north Londoners in all competitions, including 36 in 2016-2017, 18 in 2017-2018 and three this season.
