Simba SC v Vipers SC
Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, Tanzania
Murushid Juuko and Bright Anukani are two notable absences from Vipers’ travelling squad for Simba Sports Club.
Neither player trained for a week now and are not on the plane to Tanzania.
Anukani misses out after contracting malaria earlier this week while Juuko is nursing an ankle injury he suffered during our Uganda Premier League game against Wakiso Giants FC.
Marvin Joseph Youngman and Dissan Galiwango also stay behind in Kitende while Karim Ndugwa is cup tied.
However, Nigerian Abubakar Lawal and youngster Enock Luyima are among the 20-man squad bound for Dar es Salaam.
Team Captain Milton Karisa who suffered a hamstring injury in our game against Simba SC is part of the travelling contingent just to morale boost his lads.
The Venoms’ depart Entebbe International Airport in the morning (8am) aboard Uganda Airlines.
