The Ugandan goalkeeper has a shoulder strain which will keep him out of action.

Sibusiso Vilakazi remains out of action due to his torn Achilles tendon. Anthony Laffor is part of the contingent that has knee injuries.

The Liberian forward sustained his injury on national duty against Congo.

“It is frustrating to be out because of an injury but that’s part of football,” Laffor told the club’ website.

“You need to be humble and keep your feet on the ground. That’s what I have been doing. The guys have been doing well and I have been very supportive of the team. When the team is doing well, I am happy”

“I just hope and pray that I get back into the groove soon because the national team also has a game against Zimbabwe coming soon. I’ll start wearing boots on Saturday.”
