Yanga midfielder Khalid Aucho has suffered an injury while on duty with the Ugandan national team
Aucho, who is the captain of Uganda Cranes, missed the World Cup qualifier against Guinea played yesterday in Kampala, which Uganda won 1-0
Aucho suffered a muscle injury during the preparations for the match, putting him on the verge of missing the Premier League match against Tabora United to be played on April 1 in Tabora.
Yanga Head Coach Miloud Hamdi has admitted that despite other options in the midfield area, Aucho has made the biggest contribution
Hamdi said he wants to see all his players return from national team duties safely as he needs every player in these times when the season is coming to an end
"We are still fighting in the league championship race, so as a coach I want all my stars to be healthy so that I can have a wider squad"
"Yanga has good players, but missing a midfielder like Aucho is a challenge, as his gap is not easy to fill, despite his teammates having good players too," he said
Midfielders Duke Abuya and Salum Abubakar have been used at different times when Aucho is absent
This season Aucho has missed only three NBC Premier League matches, playing 19 out of 22 matches
