Janet Wanja, one of Kenya's top athletes and renowned volleyball darling, mysteriously collapsed in her room ahead of the Kenya vs. Mexico match in Algeria. Upon being rushed to hospital, she was diagnosed with a stomach infection. This means that she will not be taking part in their match against Algeria.

Malkia Stars went on to beat Mexico three sets to nil and yesterday beat Australia by a similar margin. So far, since the AFCON win a month ago, the team has played five matches against Peru (lost), Mexico (won), Colombia (lost), Mexico (Won) and Australia (Won.)

However, it has to be noted that the team has played 10 high intensity international matches the past month, from AFCON to the Grand Prix.
