- Niger vs Uganda Cranes
Uganda Cranes captain Emmanuel Okwi is a major doubt to take part in the country's final game of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.
The Cranes are set to play Niger in Marrakech, Morocco on 7th September 2023, in their last game of the qualifiers.
According to Sports Nation, the Cranes captain, Okwi will not be part of the squad because he is nursing an injury.
It's a big blow for coach Miltun 'Micho' Sredojevic as he seeks a big win as they pray for Tanzania to lose against Algeria.
Uganda Cranes have been struggling with getting goals and this leaves Micho with a headache on how to get the much-needed goals.
The football fraternity will however have mixed feelings because Okwi has played the recent games in the ongoing campaign but has no goal.
The Cranes entered the residential camp yesterday (Monday) at Cranes Paradise, Hotel in Kisasi to kickstart preparations.
However, it's not all done, Micho will now turn sight to Fahad Bayo, Richard Basangwa, and Frank Ssebufu to lead the attack against Niger.
