The Kenyan is yet to make an appearance in the league, having made it to the match day squad once
Kenyan international Henry Meja could make his league debut for AIK in the Swedish top-tier, Allsvenskan, after being included in the match day squad for the league tie against Helsingborgs IF on Sunday.

This is only the second time that the Kenyan has been included in the traveling party, the first one being at the beginning of May when he was named in the matchday squad for the sixth match of the campaign against GIF Sundsvall.

In the matchday squad released by the club on Sunday, Meja has been included in the 20-man squad for the second time alongside his Kenyan counterpart Eric Otieno who has been a household name for AIK lately, with another Kenyan in Collins Sichenje being left out.
The former AFC Leopards man Sichenje recently linked up with AIK after receiving his work permit but will have to wait longer to make it to the match day squad despite joining the rest of the team in training.
Meja is the only one of the trio of Frank Odhiambo, Collins Sichenje, and him who moved to Sweden before the start of the season to make it to the match day squad, with Odhiambo yet to be considered in the senior team.
While Meja linked up with AIK in January, Odhiambo was unveiled by Djugarden in February, and the two were part of their respective team's preseason training although the latter's start to life in Sweden was curtailed by an injury that saw him sidelined for two weeks.
