Uganda Cranes Play Ethiopia Again
Brian Umony hopes to feature despite the injury scare

However, the striker hopes he can return for today’s clash.
““I am very optimistic I will be ready for the quarterfinals and am looking forward to playing almost all the matches for my team and help them retain the title,”
In the other quarter final game, Kenya play tournament guests Malawi 4pm at Namboole stadium, Tanzania and Zanzibar are the teams that have so far qualified for the semi-finals.
