While it feels a massive blow for the Tax Collectors, head coach Sam Timbe is not worried as he has enough cover in their absence.
Defender Eric Ssenjobe and midfielder Saidi Kyeyune have been critical pillars in URA FC's road to renaissance in the second round of the Uganda Premier League.
Ssenjobe, who netted in their previous match against KCCA FC, has played each of their eight second-round matches without sitting a minute, while Kyeyune has played six.
However, the pair will sit out the team's next game, a blockbuster against Vipers SC at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende, on Saturday, due to accumulated yellow cards.
While it feels a massive blow for the Tax Collectors, head coach Sam Timbe is not worried as he has enough cover in their absence.
"The two will miss tomorrow's game because of yellow cards, but it's not a big issue because we have enough players to cover that."
The Taxmen overcame an abysmal first round to register their name into the title talk.
Despite a vast 22 games, they sit fourth with 33 points, only two behind Vipers, who have only played 18 matches.
"We came from embarrassing positions, and so tomorrow's game is important as we push for the top," Timbe noted.
"It'll be a competitive game tomorrow, but whoever will fight more will get the three points," he added.
It will be the second game at Kitende under floodlights in the league and the first for URA this season.
"We should have got some time to train under floodlights like it's done with continental games, but we shall go there and try our best," Timbe complained.
Victory for the guests could officially drive URA back into the title contention. But, for the hosts, it'll take them to second, ahead of KCCA.
In the reverse fixture in the first round, Vipers edged the tie 1-0, courtesy of a Benjamin Nyakoojo own-goal at the Saza Grounds, Nakisunga.
