CAF Champions League

Despite the loss of his father, goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan was part of the KCCA FC team that on Tuesday afternoon flew out for the CAF Champions League tie against Mamelodi Sundowns.

The KCCA FC custodian lost his father, Dominic B Elepu, on Monday evening but that didn't stop him from travelling despite being affected by the development.

The late Elepu is expected to be buried on Thursday in Kaberamaido District.

Meanwhile, the experienced duo of Robert Ssentongo and Vincent Kayizzi is part of the 20-man squad that left the country.

Ssentongo and Kayizzi were left out when KCCA travelled to Angola for the return leg three weeks ago before eliminating Primeiro D'Agosto on away goals in the preliminary round.

Dennis Rukundo, Ssentongo, Kayizzi, and youngster Noel Nasasira are the four additional players that have made the trip to South Africa after being left out if the Angola trip.
