Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda men’s senior national football team coach, Paul Put, is expected to make significant changes when the Cranes wrap up their international break fixtures on Tuesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

Defender Nathan Asiimwe, utility player Toby Sibbick – some of the new faces on the team – and goalkeeper Giosue Bellagambi could have some runout after sitting out the weekend action.<\/p>\n

Other fairly experienced players such as Milton Karisa and Fahad Bayo, who all started the 4-0 humbling defeat to Comoros early Saturday morning on the bench, are likely to start against Ghana tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n

Tough Ghana test <\/b><\/p>\n

Against Ghana, Uganda come up against an equally wounded animal as the Black Stars also lost 2-1 to Nigeria last Friday.<\/p>\n

Jordan Ayew scored Ghana’s consolation while Cyriel Dessers and Ademola Lookman netted Nigeria’s goals.<\/p>\n

In Marrakech in the wee hours of Saturday morning, two quickfire goals in either half from Comoros double brace heroes Rafiki Saidi and Faiz Selemani had Cranes on the ropes.<\/p>\n

In what was Paul Put’s only third game as Cranes coach having lost his first and won the other, he started with Tom Ikara in goal but the Bul custodian had a night to forget.<\/p>\n

Relentless islanders <\/b><\/p>\n

Elvis Bwomono started at right back while Bright Stars’ Kaka Omony was handed his debut on the left side of defence.<\/p>\n

Experienced duo of Halid Lwaliwa and the day\u2019s captain, Bevis Mugabi, were at the heart of defence but could not contain the relentless islanders.<\/p>\n

Moses Opondo and Kenneth Ssemakula started in front of the back four, with Travis Mutyaba crafting things behind Kitara\u2019s Denis Omedi, Muhammad Shaban and Rogers Mato in attack.<\/p>\n

Bayo, Karisa, Steven Mukwala, Ronald Ssekiganda, and new boy Carl James Mujaguzi did have second half cameos but Comoros were just too good.<\/p>\n

The humiliating outing will have left Put with many questions, but some answers, too, you bet. We shall have an idea about that tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Put is using these friendlies to prepare for Uganda’s Fifa 2026 World Cup qualifying games in June, as well as the upcoming 2025 Afcon qualifiers in September.<\/p>\n

Uganda Cranes XI vs Comors:<\/b> Ikara (GK), Ssemakula, Mugabi, Kaka, Lwaliwa, Bwomono, Opondo, Mato, Shaban, Omedi, Mutyaba<\/p>\n
