The Misr El Makkasa midfielder was among the initial 31-man squad summoned at the start of this month by 🇺🇬Cranes interim head coach Abdallah Mubiru to begin preparations for the crucial AFCON qualifiers games slated for Wednesday 24th March (Vs Burkina Faso) in Kampala and an away tie against Malawi on Monday 29th of the same month despite having been sent off in the immediate last game against South Sudan in Nairobi.
