Chan 2020: McKinstry explains why he picked injured KCCA FC keeper Lukwago

The Northern Irish coach reveals why he included the injured custodian in the provisional squad for the competition

Uganda coach Jonathan McKinstry has explained why he named injured Kampala City Council Authoity (KCCA FC) custodian Charles Lukwago in the squad for the African Nations Championship (Chan) finals.

Lukwago, who injured his shoulder as KCCA battled to a 1-1 draw against Express FC in a Uganda Premier League match, was the surprise inclusion in the 34-man squad picked to start preparations ahead of the competition to be staged in Cameroon.

KCCA had already ruled the keeper out of action for the next two months but coach McKinstry says he spoke to the club before including his name the provisional squad.
