KAMPALA. Coach Micho Sredojevic has moved to bolster his striking options ahead of the All Africa Games return leg qualifier against Mozambique with the addition of four strikers in preparation for the Saturday game at Nakivubo.
Tunisian-based forward Yunus Sentamu and KCC trio of Derrick Nsibambi, Paul Mucureezi and William Wadri were among the 29 players that took part in yesterday’s morning training session at Kimaka.
Micho who rued missed opportunities in the first leg goalless draw had travelled with two strikers, Villa Oromchan and Umar Kasumba after Julius Malingumu could not have his passport processed on time.
“I am in a position where every coach wants to be because of the options I have available,” Micho explained after the session.
Other inclusions include four other KCC players Tom Masiko, Timothy Awani ,Simon Namwanja and Isaac Ntege as well as URA’s Martin Opolot.
Defender Shafiq Bakaki, who is still nursing a swollen jaw after a head injury during the first leg, is ruled out of the game.
The final 20-man team is expected to be announced tomorrow before the final training session at Nakivubo.
Micho also regretted the fact that the team which entered residential in Njeru on Tuesday, will not have an opportunity to train at Nakivubo until the eve of the game.
“It is like we are also playing an away game but I have asked my players to prepare for every situation,” he stated.
