The Simba Sports Club defender will partner Hassan Wasswa Mawanda in central defence.
Another player back in the starting team is Yeovil Town towering defender Bevis Kristofer Kizito Mugabi who starts at right back, a position played by Nico Wakiro Wadada in the previous match with Egypt.
Godfrey “Jajja Walu” Walusimbi commands a starting slot at left back.
Mike Azira and Khalid Aucho are the two blockers with HNK Gorica’s Faruku Miya infront of them.
