Meanwhile, reports had indicated Byaruhanga was to miss the game due to an injury in training.

Former Vipers SC midfielder Bobosi Byaruhanga has shrugged off any reported injury setbacks to recover in time for Uganda Cranes' game against Guinea.

The Austin II FC star has made the starting eleven for the Cranes in the World Cup qualification game slated for later on Friday at the Berkane Municipal Stadium.

Byaruhanga has started in a midfield of two, with captain Khalid Aucho in the deep-lying role.

Youngster Travis Mutyaba has started slightly ahead of him, while Milton Karisa occupies the right wing with Rogers Mato on the left.

Prolific marksman Fahad Bayo Azizi has led the attack, hoping to hurt the Guinea backline.

Meanwhile, reports had indicated Byaruhanga was to miss the game due to an injury in training.

The late summon of Express FC midfielder Ramz Kawooya made the rumours even more valid.

Under the stewardship of new head coach Paul Put Joseph and Sam Ssimbwa (assistant), Uganda intends to get their campaign off to a flying start to stand a realistic chance of qualification.
