Of the players who played in the Ghana match, injured Yunus Sentamu misses the trip. The AS Vita striker limped off on the half hour mark and was replaced the lively Gor Mahia diminutive striker, Dan ‘Muzei’ Sserunkuma. Moses Oloya who was one of the unused substitutes against Ghana has been left behind.
