Abdallah Mubiru

We are playing against one of our bogey sides (Maroons FC). We expect a resilient side that will give us a challenge, but we hope we can break their resilience. We welcome back Sadat Anaku to the team, and he will make the matchday squad, but we will not have Nsibambi, Poloto, Gabriel, Magambo, and Anyama due to injuries. The rest of the squad is available for the game.

Abdallah Mubiru.
