Uganda Cranes Coach Mulitin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has made three changes from his starting lineup that lost 2-0 to Egypt in an international friendly game two days ago.
The Serb whose side faces the Pharaohs for the third time in less than two months has dropped SC Victoria University midfielder Manko Kaweesa, striker Simon Okwi and URA FC’s Said Kyeyune for Yusuf Mukisa, Jonathan Mugabi and Simon Namwanja.
In what is a defensive minded squad, Mukisa and Namwanja start at right and left full back replacing Kisaliita and Majwega respectively who started the Monday game in those respective positions.
Kisaliita is pushed to central midfield where he partners debutant Jonathan Mugabi as the two holding midfielders while Majwega goes to the left wing with Wadada maintaining his slot on the right.
URA FC striker Frank Kalanda who is yet to score a goal for his new club starts upfront in a lone striking role supported by Vipers SC midfielder Joseph Mpande in a number 10 role.
SC Victoria University goalie Benjamin Ochan keeps his place between the posts same as stand in skipper Richard Kasagga and Savio Kabugo at the heart of defence.
Uganda XI: Benjamin Ochan (GK), Mukisa Yusuf, Ayub Kisaliita, Richard Kasagga ©), Savio Kabugo, Simon Namwanja, Jonathan Mugabi, Nicholas Wadada, Joseph Mpande, Frank Kalanda and Brian Majwega
