A day to Uganda Cranes CHAN return leg against Uganda, the head coach, Milutin Sredojevic has released two players from the 25 man squad.
In the same vein, the Serbian born tactician has called up two other players to bolster the team.
Right back, Julius Ntambi and left back, Sylvester Okello were released as SC Villa’s newly signed players, Tadeo Lwanga (recruited from Express) and Umar Kasumba (formerly of Police F.C) make way.
The summoned players featured in Wednesday’s friendly game for the Uganda Kobs against the senior team which the latter won 4-1 with Kasumba scoring a late penalty as a consolation for the junior team.
