Boost for McKinstry’s Uganda as Onyango, Azira touch down for South Sudan qualifiers

Captain Denis Onyango and striker Michael Azira have arrived to boost Uganda's squad preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Sudan.

The duo joins Al-Hilal Club's Salim Jamal, and Smouha SC’s Derrick Nsibambi who was the first foreign-based player to link up with the local ones who have been training at the StarTimes Stadium in Lugogo.

Chicago Fires’ Azira, Nsibambi and skipper Onyango were not part of the team that took part in a week-long training camp in Dubai during the previous Fifa break.
