Benni McCarthy has responded to the CHAN withdrawals of the Harambee Stars duo by stressing that national team duty should come first.
Benni McCarthy has shared his opinion on Moses Shumah and Emmanuel Osoro pulling out of the Harambee Stars squad ahead of the African Nations Championship scheduled for August 2 to 30.
Former Kakamega Homeboyz striker Moses Shumah, the top scorer of the 2024/25 FKF Premier League season, had been named in the provisional squad for the CHAN tournament.
Moses Shumah opted to sign with Zambian giants, Power Dynamos and withdraw from the national responsibility.

A frustrated Benni McCarthy could not understand why Emmanuel Osoro and Moses Shumah decided to seal the international moves at such a crucial time.
The former Manchester United attacking coach pointed out that representing the national team should always be treated as a priority.
Benni McCarthy revealed that, however, at the moment, he is concerned about other willing players, including Mohamed Bajaber, who is in a race against time to heal before the event.

Harambee Stars' Mohammed Bajaber on How He is Coping With 'Starboy' Pressure Ahead of CHAN 2024
Mohammed Bajaber has become somewhat of a celebrity in recent months, signing autographs and taking selfies with fans numerous times since his sensational Harambee Stars debut against Gambia last March.
“I’m a coach and I’ve got so many players to worry about, you know. If a player and club decide that it’s in the player’s best interest to join an international club and skip the CHAN tournament, there's nothing as a coach I can do, you know,” Benni McCarthy said in an interview shared by Tata Sports.
“But yeah, I don't need to try and convince anybody, like they know that representing your country is such a huge honour. So, I don't think anything else should come before that.
“But you know the player and their agents and their representatives, they have their own ways of dealing with that. Like I said, they were part of the squad, and unfortunately, they got moves to foreign clubs.”
Benni McCarthy: They Are More Than Welcome

However, Benni McCarthy added that if they decided to come back to Harambee Stars, he would not chase them away.
He noted that they might just be after securing their futures, noting that the club, players and management had their own goals to achieve and he would not want to interfere with that.
Benni McCarthy added that when CHAN starts and they play in the tournament, Emmanuel Osoro and Moses Shummah will probably see whether the decisions they made were right or not, but that was up to them and not his concern. He added that Harambee Stars would move on with the players they had in camp.

‘I Was Disappointed’ - Harambee Stars Prospect Reflects on Failed Ksh 1.2 Billion Move to Brighton
The Denmark-born star who is legible to play for Harambee Stars, nearly joined Brighton in February for a fee upwards of 6.9 million pounds (Ksh 1.2 billion) but the move hit a snag.
“Because a player has the right to also look after his future, and where he wants to end up and what he wants to achieve. So yeah, if they decide to come and play for the national team, then they are more than welcome,” he revealed.
“So yeah, all I can say is I wish them all the very best and good luck in their new challenge, wherever they're going. But we will continue to soldier on and do the best preparation that we can.”
Harambee Stars are drawn in Group A of CHAN and will be up against DRC Congo, Morocco, Angola and Zambia.
