With a place in the final at stake, the two sides will look to rely on some of their key players to get past the semis and book a date with BUL FC in next month’s final.
The newly promoted striker is not the only key player missing. Team captain Julius Poloto was stretchered off against Wakiso and has been ruled out of the tie.
“Captain Julius Poloto has stepped up his recovery this week. He has been working with the strength and conditioning coach as he prepares for return to play. However, he will not feature in the semi-final,” the club noted.
Also ruled out is Angolan defender Emilson Gonzaga, who suffered a knock in a pre-season friendly game.
Right-back Hrunah Lukwago is on compassionate leave and will also miss the game, while youthful goalkeeper Juma Mutebi is ruled out with an injury.
