It’s good to the back, and looking forward to the game, if named by the manager, I will surely give my best and make sure the team picks maximum points

Mutyaba told www.kccafc.co.ug before the team’s departure for Masaka, his counterpart Nsibambi was also in a jovial mood ahead of the tie.

Being back is a great feeling, the morale and mood of the team is up there, and that’s what we need going into a tie against a team like Villa

Nsibambi has managed one goal this season against Onduparaka while Mutyaba has two, against the Arua based side and URA.
