URA FC coach Kefa Kisaala has said striker Robert Ssentongo will be ready for selection against Maroons FC today in the Azam Uganda Premier League at Mehta Stadium, Lugazi despite being reportedly involved in an internal conflict.

Sources within the club indicate that Ssentongo tried to attack fellow player Sam Senkoomi after he had tackled him during the team's training session but Coach Kisaala discovered it was not called for.

The coach therefore suspended the striker for three days without appearing for training but club officials overruled the coach's decision and called him back.

"Ssentongo apologized and I believe he will be available for the game, unless something else happens," said Kisaala.

The tax collectors face Maroons, a side they failed to beat in the reverse fixture after playing to a goalless draw. But Maroons coach Paddy Kintu believes this is their time to revive their season.

"We are ready for the game, except that one of my players, Raphael Wiju, lost his dad. This may affect us but before we play the game we shall be stable," said Kintu.

Elsewhere, Soana FC coach Charles Ayiekoh has promised to better his performance ahead of his side's meeting with JMC Hippos at Kavumba Recreation Grounds.  Soana was thrashed 4-0 by The Saints FC in their last league game.

"Things didn't go well in our last league game but this time round, we have learnt from our mistakes. Expect a changed side."

At Bugembe, Sadolin Paints will host Simba.
