Cranes first choice goal keeper Denis Onyango has been ruled out of this year’s Cecafa Senior Challenge due in Dar es Salaam city this coming weekend.
Onyango’s passport could not be returned on time after it was submitted to the South African government for a work permit. Onyango recently joined Mamelodi Sundowns FC of South Africa. Abby Dhaira now travels as the team’s first goal keeper. The federation technical committee has also opted for the St. George (Ethiopia) custodian Robert Odongokara to join the squad.
An invitation has this morning been sent to the Ethiopian federation seeking the release of Odongokara for the Cranes duty. Vice President in charge of Technical matters, Livingstone Kyambadde heads the Ugandan delegation. Sula Matovu, Isaac Isinde, Serumaga Mike and Odongokara are set to connect to Dar es salaam straight from Ethiopia.
The travelling team includes Abby Dhaira, Ali Kimera, Andy Mwesigwa, Masaba Simeon, Kavuma Habib, Walusimbi Godfrey, Okwi Emmanuel and Wagaluka Dan. Others include Omony Brian, Ochan Patrick, Sentongo Robert, Olopya Moses Mawejje Tonny and Mutyaba Mike.
