On his third return to KCCA FC, Mustafa Kizza is a few moments away from a return to action and could be in line to face Maroons FC on Tuesday.
The Kasasiro Boys face Maroons at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo hoping to bounce back from the CAF Confederation Cup heartbreak, having exited at the hands of Abu Salim.
And, Kizza could be in line to guide his side to what would be a soothing victory on home turf.
"Regarding Kizza, let's see what happens in training today," said head coach Sergio Traguil to the press on Monday
"And we'll see if he's adapting to the systems especially the defensive and attacking transitions," the Portuguese tactician added.
"He is a very intelligent player, that I can tell you, we'll see if he's fit to make the 18-man squad or contribute to the game."
Meanwhile, Traguil has confirmed captain Julius Poloto and goalkeeper Anthony Emojong will not feature due to respective injuries.
