KCCA head coach Abdallah Mubiru was left fuming stressing Shaban was aware of the consequences of the next yellow card.
KCCA FC star talisman Muhammad Shaban received a yellow card as his team thrashed NEC FC on Wednesday in the Uganda Premier League.
He was carded as the teams returned for the second half as he expressed dissatisfaction for an earlier incident where defender Geriga Atendele pushed him onto goalkeeper Samson Kiirya's shoe, for a head injury.
Shaban was making three yellows in 12 games since he missed the Busoga United game in November 2023 through suspension. KCCA would go on to lose 2-1.
He is now set to sit the massively anticipated bout with Vipers SC slated for March 15 at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende.
