Uganda's Hassan Wasswa has urged the Cranes' senior players to rally around some of the squad's out-of-form stars as they look to secure a return to the Africa Cup of Nations.
The East Africans meet Lesotho in a qualifying double-header during the upcoming international break, having been held to a goalless draw by Tanzania last month.
Wasswa believes that it's the responsibility of the team's more experienced heads to compensate for Uganda's under-performers as they look to return to the continent's top table.
"We are not having a good time," Wasswa acknowledged to KweséESPN. "We have been having difficulties since we started playing build-up games under our new coach [Sebastien Desabre] and only beat Sao Tome and Principe.
