FOOTBALL KCCA FC striker goes AWOL amidst heavy links to Vipers
Gangly forward Tshisungu Kankonde is nowhere to be seen, having gone away without official leave for four days now.
Kankonde believed he had fallen down the pecking order, yet he deserved to start in the club friendlies, something Sergio addressed, assuring the forward that it would only come with time in the coming season.
Close sources to the former AS Dauphin Noir de Goma forward indicate that Kankonde was irked by Sergio Traguil's response and chose to leave, even though the club hierarchy has reached out to the forward to no avail.
What Next for KCCA FC after Kankonde’s exist?
With Kankonde not about to return soon, KCCA FC will now depend on Brazilian Vinicius Silva, Mohammed Shaban and teenager Abu Mayanja as natural strikers, which might force head coach Sergio Traguil to return to the market for another forward.

FOOTBALL FUFA Super Cup tie in limbo
The fixture attracts the winner of the Uganda Premier League and the Uganda Cup in this case, Vipers, the domestic double winners against KCCA FC, who finished second last season, will not take place due to the busy schedules for both clubs, especially KCCA FC.
Kankonde, 23, joined the thirteen-time league champions at the start of last season on a two-year deal but struggled for form, managing seven goals across all competitions.
However, in May, he was slapped with an eight-game ban after the FUFA Competitions Disciplinary panel reprimanded him for throwing a punch to centre referee Mashood Ssali in the closely contested league game against Vipers at the St. Mary's Stadium Kitende last season.
Sergio Traguil's charges are in final preparations to face Libyan side Abu Salem FC in the CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round.
