Midfielders Moses Waiswa and Shafiq Kagimu are the two changes to the Uganda Cranes starting line up against South Sudan in the return leg of the CHAN 2018 qualifiers at Lugogo in Kampala.

Waiswa did not make the first leg in Juba last Friday as Kagimu was among the unused substitutes.

The bench is quite rich with Tom Masiko, Simon Sserunkuma, Paul Mucureezi and Geoffrey Sserunkuma all waiting to make an impact in the game.

Vipers’ skipper Nico Wakiro Wadada will also lead the charges at the national team in the place of Sserunkuma who failed a late fitness test.

Uganda requires a victory of any sort to be assured of qualification to the next stage where Tanzania or Rwanda awaits.

Tanzanian referees will officiate the match.

Uganda Cranes XI: Ismael Watenga (GK), Nico Wakiro Wadada, Isaac  Muleme, Savio Kabugo, Timothy Awanyi, Bernard Muwanga, Milton Kariisa, Moses Waiswa, Derrick Nsibambi, Muzamiru Mutyaba, Shafiq  Kagimu

Subs: Saidi Keni (GK), Musamali, Nicholas Kasozi, Mucureezi, Masiko, Simon Serunkuma, Geoffrey Serunkuma.
