Defender Mustapha Kizza has been notably left out of the Express lineup for their upcoming match against Police FC, stirring rumors of his impending departure from the club.
Kizza, who joined Express at the start of the recently concluded transfer window, is reportedly on the verge of a move to Egyptian side Telecoms.
This speculation arises as multiple sources suggest that Kizza’s time with the Mukwano Gwabangi is coming to an end.
In Kizza’s absence, former KCCA teammate Herbert Achayi is poised to make his debut for the Red Eagles.
Achayi joined Express after parting ways with KCCA as a free agent in June and has been training with the squad in recent weeks.
The highly anticipated match will take place at Kavumba on Wednesday, marking the return of the Uganda Premier League (UPL) after the international break.
Both teams are entering the fixture following significant victories over Kitara and NEC, respectively.
Express currently sits seventh in the league standings with seven points, just one point ahead of Police, who have amassed six points from four matches in the ninth position.
This matchup not only promises to be an exciting clash on the pitch but also serves as a pivotal moment for both teams as they navigate the early stages of the season.
