Former Gor Mahia star Khalid Aucho and Murshid Juuko, will be available after missing their first match due to yellow cards acumulations during qualifying matches.

In an interview at the teams Hotel Du Par where they are staying together with their Group D counterparts Ghana,Uganda coach Multin Micho revealed their return to the press.

“Let us plan accordingly following the availability of the two players. Juuko 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’ said Micho.

In a separate interview Aucho and Jjuko seemed more than ready to play the dream AFCON match.

“Returning back to action is every player’s joy. I love playing for my country and will offer the best of my ability,’ Aucho, who has of late been at Baroka stated to a section of Ghananian press.

Cranes 1978 legend Tom Lwanga yesterday made a similar suggestion that Micho should drop players that are not at their best. In an interview with NTV sports news segment, Tom Lwanga who played in the historic 1978 AFCON finals called for Massa to be dropped to allow younger blood shine.

“At times when your time has come, its is better you let others also play”, he stated about Massa who has gone over a year without scoring.

Coach Micho has assured Ugandans that the Cranes will bounce back today!

The Uganda Cranes conducted their final training session on Friday night and faces Egypt today at 10pm.
