Uganda are sweating over the fitness of goalkeeper Denis Onyango ahead of their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations opener against Ghana.

The Mamelodi Sundowns shot-stopper picked a groin injury during his side's 3-0 defeat to Ivory Coast in their final warm-up game on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old is being assessed by Cranes medical team including Doctor Ronald Kisolo and physiotherapist Ivan Ssewanyana.

Onyango is a key member of the Ugandan squad having excelled last season for both club and country.

He was crowned CAF Player of the Year-Based in Africa last week.
