Uganda to use Chelsea Star For Ghana Game

CHELSEA player Joel Kitamirike stepped foot in the country yesterday. He is still bidding to join Cranes 2006 World Cup/Nations Cup campaign.

?He is finally with us here and ready for national duty. He will officially report to camp today,? said FUFA general secretary Haruna Mawanda without clarifying whether they had yet got the star a passport.

In another development, the fear that Major League star Sulaiman Tenywa would not be able to feature next week, have been quelled. Cranes committee spokesman Aggrey Kibenge said yesterday Tenywa assured him he is on the way.

Meanwhile, Cranes lost their friendly match 1-0 against a Rwanda select XI on Thursday and not 0-0 as earlier reported.
