If there is any tough footballing decision the Serbian born tactician Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredejovic has had to make in his career that spans over 20 years, then, deciding the final 23 slots for Uganda Cranes at the forth coming AFCON finals in Gabon remains a tough call.

Micho, as he is fondly known across the continent finds himself in a tricky state on who to select and leave out.
