Uganda defender Murushid Juuko has stated he was not hurt by failing to make the cut in the squad of local-based players that will play against South Sudan.
On Tuesday, the Cranes coach Johnathan McKinstry whittled down his squad of local-based players from 20 to seven, leaving out the experienced Juuko alongside Tonny Mawejje, Denis Iguma.
The players who made the final cut include Karim Watambala goalkeeper Charles Lukwago, defenders Halid Lwaliwa, Disan Galiwango, and Patrick Mbowa as well as midfielders Shafik Kagimu, and forward Brian Aheebwa.
