Uganda have been boosted by the return of influential midfielder Yayiro Lutimba ahead of the return leg of the African Youth qualifier against Ghana.

The 18-old-year old picked up a slight ankle injury while during a training session with his Tanzanian club during the CECAFA Club Championships which ruled him out of the first leg at the Nakivubo stadium as the Hippos beat their counterpart 3-1.

But he has recovered in time for the return leg at Tamale and that excites head coach Paul Nkata.

"If he is ok then it is a big boost, but if he is not fully recovered than it will be a big blow because we need him in camp and in Ghana as well” Nkata stated said after Thursday’s training session.

"Am happy he got through this intense training because we were testing their endurance having got a long weekend, I would love to have him on my final list.”
