Afcon Qualifiers: Mubiru still confident after injury crisis rocks Uganda camp ahead of Malawi duel

The Cranes will need a win or a draw in order to book a third straight Afcon ticket after drawing Burkina Faso

Uganda head coach Abdallah Mubiru is confident ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations decisive qualifier against Malawi despite their injury concerns.

The Cranes will need a point or a win to qualify for Afcon - which will be their third straight instance of doing so - but will have to contend with the fitness cases before the do-or-die tie in Lilongwe.

Ashdod FC striker Fahad Bayo did not participate in Saturday's training session while centre-forward Patrick Kaddu - who has been receiving criticism for lack of goals - trained separately.
