Egypt v Uganda (Saturday)

Cranes return to action in the African Cup of Nations against giants Egypt with plenty of optimism after the return of midfielder Khalid Aucho and defender Murushid Jjuuko to the fold.

The duo missed Cranes' 1-0 loss to Ghana on Tuesday due to suspension after accumulating yellow cards during the qualifiers that ended in September.

Aucho was booked away against Burkina Faso and at home against Comoros while Jjuuko's bookings came in the encounters against Botswana and Comoros both at home.

Cranes coach Micho Sredojevic feels this is a big boost for the team.

"Let us plan accordingly following the availability of the two players. Jjuuko and Aucho will add value to the team. I will not face any headache in the team selection. We always need our best players all available for duty" he said.
