We are still recovering from the previous game, but our physios are making sure the players are in perfect shape ahead of the game against Vipers SC. The players are ready mentally and are eager to compete. The results might not be coming now, but we will soon get it right. We are hopeful it will happen soon. We have been working on our finishing in training. We get the chances in games, but we have not been converting them; we are hopeful the players will get it right. We will be without Munguchi, Ssebaduka, Magambo, Usama, Poloto, and Muhamud due to injuries. We sympathize with Emmanuel Anyama who lost his mother, and we pray that God comforts his family during this trying time. Gavin is back in the squad.
