CAFCL: Vipers SC name squad for return leg against Power Dynamos

Vipers SC have announced a 22-man travelling squad to face Zambia’s Power Dynamos in the decisive return leg of the final qualification round of the CAF Champions League.

The Venoms will be looking to overturn a 2-1 home defeat suffered in Kitende last week, where Moses Shumah and an own goal handed the visitors the advantage, while Yunus Sentamu scored Vipers’ consolation.

The Ugandan champions departed for Zambia earlier today and will take on Power Dynamos this Friday at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Waiswa and Kimera notable omissions

Head coach Charles Livingstone Mbabazi will have to do without Congolese defender Kevin Bady Dasylvia, who misses the encounter through suspension.

His absence opens the door for youngster Rogers Torach, who was among the substitutes in the first leg, to step in and fill the void.

Midfielders Moses Waiswa and Kenneth Kimera are also notable omissions from the travelling squad.

To progress to the group stages, Vipers must secure a 2-0 victory in Zambia.

The Venoms will rely heavily on Yunus Sentamu, who has already netted twice in this qualification campaign, while Allan Okello will be expected to rediscover his creative spark to inspire a comeback.

Goalkeepers: Alfred Mudekereza, Denis Kiggundu.
