Juuko: Impending Maritzburg United trials could force Uganda defender out of Chan

Express FC defender Murushid Juuko could miss the upcoming African Nations Championship (Chan) tournament due to pending trials with South African Premier Soccer League side Maritzburg United.

Juuko was among the 28 players who were summoned for the pre-Chan preparations by head coach Jonathan McKinstry but he has not joined his international teammates yet.

“He will fly out to South Africa for trials at Maritzburg United next week,” Express’ Chief Executive Officer Isaac Mwesigwa confirmed to Kawowo Sports.

The club switch would mean the defender would not be part of the Cranes’ contingent for the tournament that is set to start on January 16 in Cameroon.
