Eguma told the press on Friday that his players are in high
spirits ahead of the game, despite the injuries to some key
players.
Eguma also confirmed that recent signings Theophilus Afelokhai
and midfielder Destiny Ashadi won’t be featured in the game, due to
injuries.
“Some key players in the team are injured, players like
Theophilus Afelokhai, Destiny Ashadi among others are injured, they
are key players that we really need their services but we make do
with others and they are ready to deliver.
“It’s not going to affect, the players we will use will live up
to expectations, the only problem we are having now is for the
players to convert their chances because of the nature of the
pitch,” he said.
