In the lead-up to Matchday 12 in the Startimes Uganda Premier League, Head Coach Hussein Mbalangu has delivered crucial updates on the team’s status.
Good news resonates with the return of Acire John Paul, who, after sustaining a knock in the URA game, missed the BUL FC outing. Similarly, Odongo Gideon is back in action following a shoulder injury suffered in preparation for the Kitara match. The duo’s return bolsters the left side, providing the tactician with ample options.
However, a significant blow comes in the form of Samson Kiirya‘s absence. The custodian, pivotal in all eleven games with an impressive six clean sheets, sustained a thigh cut during preparations for this game, keeping him out for an undisclosed period. Ongoing updates will be provided as the medical team assesses his recovery.
Joseph Dhata adds to the setbacks, as accumulated yellow cards suspend him for the upcoming encounter, ruling him out against his former team.
On another disappointing note, Mato, who had resumed training with the first team, experienced a setback, returning to rehabilitation due to a recurring injury.
The rest of the squad is available for selection and we can not wait to see who the tactician selects for this first ever encounter with Express in yet another game under the flood lights.
Stay tuned for further updates on player conditions and match developments.
