COACH Micho Srejodevic has a midfield headache. Versatile midfielder Edgar Watson and roving wing back Phillip Obwiny are injured, and together with goalkeeper Posnet Omwony, will not travel to Malawi today.
Watson and Obwiny are also two of the clubs most experienced players, and will leave Villa looking for a new hero to get them a decent away result in their African Champions League preliminary stage, first leg tie against Bullets.
Micho however insists that in Farouk Osama, Villa possess a tailor-made replacement for Watson.
“They have a similar style of handling the midfield. What we will probably miss is Watson’s experience,†said Micho.
Micho has filled his team with combative defensive midfielders.
Meanwhile, soccer governing body FUFA has said it has to continue borrowing to meet its international commitments, including the CAF Club competitions.
Not even the FIFA grant will be in the country in time to help them clear sh13.8m in CAF dues to allow Villa and Express compete on the continent, according to FUFA secretary Haruna Mawanda.
Team: H.Kalyesubula, D.Onyango, S.Masaba, G. Kateregga, A. Mwesigwa, R.Tumusiime, D.Obote, O.Farouk, M. Byekwaso, H. Magumba, J.Kabagambe, N. Mutenza, A. Lubega, A.Isabirye, N.Noor and C.Amboka.
