I only played two games and was always out of the league squad as they claimed I had Covid-19, which wasn\u2019t true. I couldn\u2019t stand it and chose to terminate the contract,\u201d Kyeyune added.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Sam Ssimbwa is a strong advocate for the box-to-box midfielder, pushing for his immediate return to arrest a worrying trend of dried-out goals.<\/p>\n<p>URA, reeling from a damaging 0-0 draw with Soltilo Bright Stars on Saturday, have another chance to pull clear of Vipers at the top with a win today. The Tax Collectors lead Vipers by one point.<\/p>\n<p>The Ankole Lions, enjoying a renaissance under Livingstone Mbabazi, mauled SC Villa 2-1 at Kakyeka and had a fortnight ago frustrated Express at Wankulukuku.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kyetume take the relegation dogfight to Masindi against basement dwellers Kitara.<\/p>\n<p>The Slaughterers,14th in the table, are buoyed by the crucial 3-2 win over Wakiso Giants at the weekend that lifted them to just within one point of Jackson Mayanja\u2019s Purple Sharks.<\/p>\n<p><b>dbbosa@ug.nationmedia.com<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
