WHILE teamwork is a significant component for any successful football side, individual contributions can prove exceptionally precious.
And that is why U-17 coach Richard Wasswa will do just about everything to ensure his injured attacking pair of Dan Sserunkuuma and Julius Ssenoga makes today’s quarterfinal fixture against Malawi.
Were they to be any other, with the exception of Kizito Luwaga, the two need for pain relieving treatment would have ideally ruled them out of first team contention.
The two strikers who have been exciting in the team’s impressive run in the championship missed Uganda’s 1-0 defeat to Zanzibar.
Their absence was felt going forward, the main reason Wasswa will probably feels no other players will be capable of delivering the goals needed to overrun the Malawians.
Wasswa will send his charges out with an ultimatum of passing the ball around or suffer the consequences.
Rwanda was eliminated from the event after a 1-1 draw against Burundi, while Malawi managed the same result against Sudan.
