Karamoja province technical team is set to summon
a set of new more players as only 15 out of the initially summoned 31 players
turn up at the residential training camp at Hotel Leslona in Moroto ahead of
their 1st FUFA Drum game on the 25th August in Mbale against the Busoga
province.
Ali Obonyo the team head coach says they had summoned 2 goal
keepers, 9 defenders, 5 holding midfielders, 6 attacking midfielders and 6
forwards but only 15 reported at the camp with 2 more players who are out on
trials and pre-season games expected to join the team later.
He says explanations from other players who failed to make
it on the deadline are financially constrained as most of them claim not to
have transport money.
Obonyo adds that they are forced to make adjustments so as
to get players who are willing to sacrifice for the team and obtain the much-needed
results to ensure that the team excels in this year's FUFA Drum edition.
According to the head coach, the technical team will not
cordon such actions since it affects team discipline, coordination and lethal
ability of the team.
