The Uganda Cranes have on Friday, travelled to Morocco for their final group  E FIFA World Cup qualifier against Mali.

Uganda will take on the Eagles at the Stade d’Agadir on Sunday evening.

A squad of 24 players departed Entebbe Airport in the wee hours of Friday.

Defender Timothy Awanyi and striker Yunus Ssentamu have both been left behind as they are suspended for the clash. The pair picked up bookings against Kenya on Thursday, taking their yellow cards’ tally to two for the qualifiers hence automatic suspension.

Express duo of Joel Mutakubwa and Mahad Yaya Kakooza are the other two players that have not made the trip.

The Cranes head to Morocco playing for pride after drawing 1-1 at home to Kenya, a result that leaves them four points behind Mali with just a game to play.

Mali took care of Rwanda 3-0 on the same day to book a spot in the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.
