The Cranes team this Saturday morning had their first successful 90 minute training session at Namboole stadium in preparation for the LG cup.
Assistant Coach Jackson Mayanja and Goalkeeper Coach James Kajoba were in charge of the team in absence of Head Coach Bobby Williamson. Arrangements have been finalised for the Scottish tactician to fly directly from Scotland to link up with the team in Casablanca, Morocco on Tuesday morning. Eleven players attended today’s training session.
Tonny Mawejje, Masaba Simeon, Walusimbi Godfrey, Kayizzi Vincent, Kakuba Alex, Guma Denis and Mike Mutyba attended this first training. Others were Abby Dhaira, Ochan Patrick, Mudde Musa and Kalungi Henry. Emma Okwi and Kiiza Diego are expected in the country this Saturday.
The team will not take the Iddi day celebrations break but resume training tomorrow (Sunday) and will also train on Monday morning before their expected flight in the evening. Meanwhile Massa Geoffrey will miss the trip following an injury he picked as his side played yesterday. The technical bench may now have to choose between Ssentongo Robert and Sserunkuuma Geoffrey to replace him.
