Uganda will host Mali in a World Cup qualifier in Qatar next year, the teams will meet in Uganda after previous matches where Uganda forced a barren away draw against Kenya and Mali beat Rwanda
"In general the preparations for our international match on Sunday, are progressing well and all the players are fit, we do not have any injuries, "said Bumbuli.
Regarding the possibility of getting another domestic or international friendly match to prepare for the game against Rivers United, Bumbuli said it would depend on the coach's decision but for now it would not be possible
"In the case of an international friendly match, that doesn't exist at all because in a few days it is impossible to start dealing with it especially considering the players until they start testing COVID-19 to get approval, that will be difficult
"But if the coach will need to get another local friendly match, we will get one," said Bumbuli.
Another Yanga player Yannick Bangala who is with the DR Congo National team that will play against Benin today, is likely to arrive in the country on Wednesday
