Byekwaso said in a pre match interview via KCCA FC Media.

” We have reviewed our first round and seen where we went wrong as a team and we have tried to work on that during the break. It is unfortunate that we will not have Iguma who sustained a hamstring injury in the previous game. We have able replacements that we are sure will get the job done”
