NOAH ‘Babadi’ Kasule joined Coach Laszlo Csaba’s Cranes outfit yesterday determined of performing with far greater satisfaction.
The combative midfielder, who turns out for Armenia giants FC Banants, had attempted to def fatigue and train with the rest of the team but was restricted to light drills at Namboole Stadium due to jet lag.
“I feel fit, ready and wanted to be part of the training. We have to win,†he said.
Cranes captain Ibrahim Sekagya(Austria), Nestroy Kizito, and Abubaker Tabula arrived last night.
Kaizer Chiefs midfielder David Obua will have to undergo a scan later today to confirm his fitness levels before regrouping with the Cranes team on Friday.
The virtual presence of the entire Cranes side today will thus allow team tactician Laszlo Csaba plot for Uganda’s qualification to the finals.
But to achieve that, the German will first have to negotiate brain-teasing key decisions in respective positions.

Defence
Andrew Mwesigwa, Nestroy Kizito, Timothy Batabaire, and Ibrahim Sekagya pick themselves at the back and choosing who starts where will depend on whether he sticks with his tried and trusted 4-4-2 formation.
Mwesigwa, who is good in the air but average going forward, will certainly start on the right, with Kizito, unbelievable recovering his defence line position, occupying the left-back position.
Red Bulls Salzburg centre-half Sekagya will certainly assume his liberal position alongside Batabaire.
The bigger the stage, the better Sekagya has often stood out. He and Kizito, have taken on the World’s best in European club football.
Bench options
Simeon Masaba, and Abubaker Tabula will be Csaba’s best choices.
Midfield
Too often in recent qualifiers, Cranes’ creative instinct through the midfield axis of Kasule and Assani Bajope, has been such a massive letdown.
On the evidence of his first workout with the team yesterday, Kasule’s attacking game appears to have been improved by his short stint spent in Armenia so far. He will step onto his usual stage with guarantee of performing even better this time.
Kasule will on Saturday be asked to exploit his strengths as an accomplished attacking player, with Assani Baj-
ope, David Obua, and Dan Wagaluka, the closest beneficiaries from his service.
Bench options
Vin-
cent Kayizzi, Patrick Ochan, and Johnston Bagoole
Strikers
With strikers thin on the ground at the moment, there will be no threat to the starting partnership of Geoffrey Massa and Geoffrey Sserunkuuma in the team.
Bench options
Hamis Kitagenda, and Yuda Mugalu
