Uganda national team head coach Johnathan McKinstry has defended his decision to include three England-based stars in the squad to face South Sudan in an African Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier.
Karl Ikpeazu, Jayden Onen, and Elvis Okello Bwomono were all included in the squad which was named on Thursday and McKinstry feels the trio have something to offer to the team now and in the future.
“[Elvis] Bwomono is a 21-year-old player born in Gulu but raised in Kampala before moving to England. He broke into the South End team at 18 and has played a number of matches.
