Anyembe made his first full start for Viborg since returning from injury which will give him much needed momentum as he prepares to link up with Harambee Stars this week.
Daniel Anyembe made his first full start for Viborg since returning from injury as they ended their top flight campaign in disastrous fashion, losing 2-0 to Lyngby on Sunday evening.
Ayembe, who had been ruled out for four months, made his return to the side during their 3-0 win over Randers as a 70th minute substitute, and followed it up with another cameo appearance during their loss to Brondby.
He featured for 64 minutes as a right back and made one interception, during which he also registered a key pass and generally bombed up and down the flank well before being withdrawn.
