Chan 2020 Qualifiers: Mutyaba returns as Uganda name squad for Burundi

Ugandan coach Abdallah Mubiru has recalled Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA FC) forward Mike Mutyaba for African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifying match against Burundi.

Mutyaba is making a comeback to the national team after five years in the cold, necessitated by his decision to quit the international stage.

However, after rescinding the move to retire, coach Mubiru has handed the gifted attacker another chance to earn more caps with the Cranes and he will be part of the squad to face Burundi away in Bujumbura on September 20.
