With competition for spots heating up, every player has been pushing to impress in training for the Uganda Cranes who clash in the opening match from Thursday's action from 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying for the African region.
Uganda are in Cairo, Egypt where they face Group G foes Mozambique, who are tied atop the group with Algeria on nine points with the Cranes three points back in a tight group.
Head coach Paul Put faces a selection headache as he finalizes his best eleven to deliver results for the Pearl of Africa.
A late summon for Italian-based defender Elio Capradossi has sparked debate over whether he will feature as he continues to be assessed for full fitness. Meanwhile, Wigan’s Toby Sibbick has been impressive and could be in line for his Uganda debut.
However, pacy winger Rogers Mato is ruled out due to suspension and will only be available for the home tie against Guinea at Namboole Stadium on March 25.
Pan-Africa Football analyst Ronald Lusulire gives his take on the potential starting XI for the crucial clash.
Uganda Cranes Probable Lineup vs. Mozambique:
Goalkeeper: Isima Watenga
Defense: Kenneth Ssemakula, Bevis Mugabi, Timothy Awany, Azizi Kayondo
Midfield: Ronald Ssekiganda, Khalid Aucho, Jude Ssemugabi
Forwards: Allan Okello, Denis Omedi, Travis Mutyaba
