When Justin Kimono was named to start against Tunisia last month, he pulled his hamstring the next day and was ruled out for two weeks.
He has, however recovered in time for the final piece of action in the Africa Gold Cup and will get his first start of the campaign.
The Kobs winger will line up at number 14, a place that has been property to Lawrence Ssebuliba this season.
The Heathens winger will now switch to the blind side of the pitch where James Odong and Solomon Okia have been featuring.
Having come off a long term injury, it was always going to be tough for Kimono to just force his way into the starting team.
He came off the bench against Kenya and Senegal before a hamstring injury denied him a start in the game against Tunisia.
It looked like Kimono’s season had ended after that injury but the speed merchant has recovered in time to relive his Rugby Cranes memories in a clash at Legends on Saturday.
Uganda is one of the four other countries yet to complete their fixtures in the Gold Cup alongside Zimbabwe, Tunisia and Senegal.
Head coach John Duncan and his assistant Robert Sseguya named the 23-man squad that will feature off with the Zimbabwe Sables over the weekend.
Among other changes made to the team, Philip Wokorach is set to start at number 10 with Ivan Magomu’s injury only getting him a place on the bench.
James Odong, who has featured at 11 all season will play at 15 while Aaron Ofoyrwoth retains his number 9 jersey.
The Rugby Cranes are third on the six-team log and cannot dislodge second placed Kenya.
