Uganda Cranes will miss the services of midfielder Yusuf Ssozi during Chan Competition scheduled for April 2020 in Cameroon.
The Police FC player has been nursing a niggling knee injury which has seen him miss a big chunk of the Ugandan Premier League, especially in the second half. The last time the midfielder was involved was in the 2-1 loss against Wakiso giants on January 11.
“We thought it wasn’t going to take long but it appears he got a tear on the meniscus,” Police coach Abdallah Mubiru was quoted by Kawowo.
“He is still out for 6-8 weeks according to the medical team,” he added.
Ssozi played an important role for Uganda to qualify for the bi-annual competition. The tournament will start on April 4 to 25th in West Africa country.
