CRANES coach Laszlo Csaba has dropped four players ahead of the team’s departure for the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup that kicks off on Saturday in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Goalkeeper Mulindwa Muwonge, Joseph Kabagambe, Patrick Ochan and Godfrey Kateregga were dropped after the final training session of the team. Cranes fly out tonight for the regional tournament.
“I feel sorry for those players that have been left out. There is no doubt, they are also talented and have a good future but the number of those going is limited so we had to drop some,†Csaba said.
The Hungarian tactician said that all the players were fit and in high spirits.
“We have prepared well for the tournament and like anyone else I would like to win the cup. As a coach it’s nice seeing players doing their best and I am hoping for the best in Ethiopia,†Csaba said.
Csaba revealed he would maintain St. George goalkeeper Hannington Kalyesubula as captain. Kalyesubula and his teammate Geoffrey Sserunkuma will join the team in Addis Ababa, where they are based.
The event is sponsored by Ethiopian tycoon Sheik Al Amoudi.
THE TEAM:
H. Muwonge, S. Masaba, L. Ssegawa, R. Malinga, H. Wasswa, S. Okello, T. Ssimwogerere, R. Kimuli, N. Kasule, J. Bagoole, D. Wagaluka, V. Kayizzi, E. Balyejjusa, A. Nsumba, A. Kadogo, H. Mubiru, A. Bongole and T. Odur.
