Umea FC’s Bbakka third Uganda player to withdraw ahead of South Sudan qualifier

Uganda head coach Johnathan McKinstry has been dealt another blow following Alexis Bbakka’s withdrawal from his squad.

The Umea FC striker, according to Sports Nation, has withdrawn late after suffering an injury. The forward is among 20 foreign-based players McKinstry had summoned for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Sudan.

The striker was part of the team that faced Burkina Faso last year in a game which ended in a 0-0 draw in Ouagadougou.
