With just a day left to the Uganda Cranes battle against Senegal in a 2014 World Cup qualifying tie at Namboole Stadium, defender Isaac Isinde and midfielder Musa Mudde have been ruled out after failing to recover from injury.
This same injury ruled the two players from the trip to Angola for the first Group J game.
Coach Bobby Williamson however says striker Geoffrey Massa is fit for the game.
Speaking about his team, the coach said they are looking very positive and he hopes fans can come in big numbers and cheer the team on Saturday.
The team was also motivated with a cash donation from the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) president Lawrence Mulindwa. Accompanied by Vice President in-charge of the League Mujib Kasule, Mulindwa handed the 18 players who travelled to Angola and snatched the 1-all draw one million shillings each while the 13 players who stayed in Uganda received 500,000 shillings.
Skipper Andy Mwesigwa said the team was very happy their efforts in Angola have been appreciated and prayed that they can also come out winners on Saturday against Senegal to make Ugandans happy.
Striker Emmanuel Okwir, who scored the goal in the draw against Angola last weekend and was the top scorer for Simba in the Tanzanian League last season, said he will continue to work hard for Uganda.

Cue out:….do the best for my Nation.”//
Meanwhile, the visiting Senegal team has still failed to communicate to FUFA their arrival detail although the Federation has ensured that their advance party which arrived on Tuesday keep a close watch so that a bus is provided to transport the players when they arrive.
