KCCA FC will be missing a couple of players as they visit Entebbe UPPC on Tuesday in the Uganda Premier League match at Bugonga.
Centre back Enock Walusimbi who picked up a knock in the game against SC Villa, continues to sit out.
Knee injuries also sideline Striker Derrick Nsibambi and midfielder Bright Anukani for this clash.
Youngster Alex Yiga suffered a knock in training and has been ruled out, Apha Ssali is also still sidelined while Umar Lutalo and James Mubeezi are still under rehabilitation.
KCCA, who sit four points behind leaders Vipers will hope to keep their defending champions in sight as they continue their chase for a League title this campaign.
They come into this match beaming with confidence following a 1-0 win over Kitara at Lugogo last Friday.
“It’s good we won our last game, and that helped us raise our emotional standards. And we are now ready for this one to see that we can pick a good result,” said co-coach Jackson Magera.
“We want to play better and also win. We want to create more and convert the chances, and also defend better. We will not get many chances, especially at this stage of the season.”
It will be a huge test for KCCA who lost to Entebbe UPPC in the first round meeting in January at Lugogo, with Ambrose Kigozi scoring the only goal of the game.
Coached by former KCCA FC coach Abdallah Mubiru, Entebbe UPPC also has former KCCA players including Captain Mustafa Mujuzi, Julius Poloto and Steven Munguchi.
UPPC are fifth on the table with 40 points, and with 15 goals conceded, have the third-joint best defence in the league after SC Villa and Kitara who have let in 12 and 14 goals so far.
