Uganda sweating over injuries to Aucho & Mukiibi ahead of South Sudan clash

Uganda coach Johnathan McKinstry has admitted he is worried his two key players might miss the Africa Cup of Nations return leg against South Sudan on November 14.

The Cranes beat the visitors 1-0 on Thursday to remain on course to qualify for the Afcon finals to be held in Cameroon, but the win came with some sad news as both Ronald Mukiibi Ddungu and Khalid Aucho picked up injuries

Apart from Mukiibi and Aucho, the Cranes also suffered another blow as left-back Joseph Ochaya was booked for the second time after fouling South Sudan’s defender Rehan Angier Malong and will thus miss the reverse fixture since he had also been booked against Burkina Faso.
