"We are grateful it's only Mugume (Ashraf) with a slight injury, but the rest of the members are ready for selection," Mubiru told the media.

Mugume has been pivotal to Mubiru's setting, playing 22 matches across the Uganda Premier League and the Uganda Cup.

Despite being a midfielder, he has chipped in with six goals, the same tally that he managed in the last two seasons combined for KCCA.

Meanwhile, Mubiru underlined that his side is ready to battle with BUL for a spot in thr semifinals.

"It requires a lot of preparations whicg we've had and I can only say we are ready to compete for a place in the semifinals."

BUL and KCCA have already met twice this season in the league, with the former winning one while the other ended in a barren stalemate at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
