COACH Fred Lukwago has built a reputation of grooming the country’s best goalkeepers, but this Saturday, he will face a challenge of an altogether different magnitude.
He has to decide between regular first choice Denis Onyango who has not played competitive football for a month, or, on form second choice Hannington Kalyesubula.
One big headache the Cranes’ technical committee under the stewardship of Laszlo Csaba will have, is deciding those ‘safe hands’ that will guarantee Cranes’ a clean sheet against Niger.
Lukwago, with an expertise in the goalkeeping trade that goes over 20 years, will be depended on to tell Csaba the state of Onyango’s fitness — though the Cranes boss is not a man known to have two minds.
The youthful custodian’s size and agility have made him hard to beat before. Onyango makes an already strong Cranes’ defence at times impenetrable, but will most significantly have to be mentally prepared to help his teammates build play from the back.
Csaba is likely to go for this experience.
