The Cranes seek to bounce back to winning ways after falling to Algeria 2-1 in their last encounter in World Cup Qualifiers.

“I think we all know when we make a call-up and we’re going to start the preparation that it’s always difficult to find all your players at the same time," he said.

"So it’s not only for Uganda, it could be for other teams as well, but it’s not always easy. But I received the players little by little, and I think the spirit is quite okay,” he stated.

Analysing the team’s performance in training, Put was satisfied before highlighting the importance of the upcoming match.

“What I saw on the training ground, I was very happy about their performance, about their mentality, and I think it will be important for the game."

"You know, if you want to be dominant in your ranking, every game is important. We know that Mozambique is three points ahead of us, so it is always an important game.”

Uganda Cranes lie fifth on the log with six points, three below Mozambique who are tied with Algeria.
