Gor Mahia midfielder Shafik Batambuze has been overlooked as Uganda picked a provisional squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations finals.
The left-back has impressed while turning out for the Kenyan champions and Ugandan coach Sebastien Desabre watched him in Nairobi during the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) derby against AFC Leopards.
However, Batambuze preferred former Gor Mahia defender Godfrey Walusimbi, who is currently unattached.
Former Gor Mahia midfielder Khalid Aucho, who features for Churchill Brothers in India, has also made the cut along with England-based player Bevis Mugabi, who features for relegated side Yeovil Town FC.
