By Peter Ekarot and James Bakama ACE striker Andrew 'Fimbo' Mukasa is back training at Namboole for the league and continental engagements. The temperamental striker, who opted not to travel to Burundi where SC Villa knocked out Vital'O, is despite his discipline record expected to lead the Ugandan champions attack on both fronts. Club executive secretary Edward Luyimbazi told The New Vision yesterday: "Mukasa is back at training but the disciplinary committee is yet to summon him for an explanation. Mukasa must behave like the rest of our players." Villa have begun planning for the make-or-break encounter against Julius Berger on May 12. Luyimbazi said they need up to sh60m to prepare adequately. "Villa needs sh60m to host Julius Berger, match tickets for officials and allowances for players. We have started serious morning and afternoon training at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole," said Luyimbazi. "We need sponsors because this is a crucial match," he said. Their rivals are however said to be threatened with relegation in the Nigerian professional league. Julius Berger, who beat Sony Ela Nguema of Equatorial Guinea in the first round,are two places from the bottom in the 16-team league with 27 points from 20 games. r MILITARY Police hope to top the 15-club Nile Special Super league table today when they host Kabale's Horizon at Nakivubo. Former Military defender Joseph Senyange and midfielder Friday Senyonjo lead Horizon. Horizon are coached by Stephen 'Jesus' Mulinde. Ends
