STARS ABROAD Harambee Stars prospect Djed Spence earns high praise from Leeds United manager upon return from injury
Leeds United manager has praised promising defender's return from injury, emphasizing potential and dedication as the team seeks championship success.
However, the fitness test did not swing in his favor, and Uganda suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat, leaving fans like Khassim yearning for Mugisha's presence on the field.
"Rodgers' presence was missed in that midfield, and everyone here wishes him a quick recovery. I have been following him at Gor Mahia since he joined, and I am happy that he got selected.
I believe coach Paul Put will keep getting impressed by him when he recovers, and he is one of the players who can help Uganda qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup," Khassim told Pulse Sports.
Mugisha's injury woes began during Gor Mahia’s FKF Premier League clash against Bidco United on a fateful Saturday, October 28.
This setback forced him to sit out subsequent matches against Shabana, Kenya Police, and Murang’a Seal.
As his recovery timeline remains uncertain, fans eagerly await news of his return, hoping for his timely comeback in time for Gor Mahia’s match against Muhoroni Youth on Sunday, November 26.
Meanwhile, the Uganda Cranes are gearing up for their next qualifier against Somalia on Tuesday, November 21, in a bid to secure their place in the 2026 World Cup.
