We need to stick to our principles and maintain the routine of playing well against Gaddafi FC. They are trying to fight for survival and will make it hard for us to play at their home. Yassar Mugerwa is back in the team and will be part of the team. Kasirye joins the long injury list. He picked up an ankle injury in training and will not travel to Jinja. The rest are available for the game.
