African Player of the Year - Based in Africa and Uganda Cranes goalie, Denis Onyango could miss AFCON due to injury.

 According to reliable sources, Denis Onyango sustained an injury in a friendly loss against Ivory Coast loss and unfortunately it worsened yesterday during training.

The Mamelodi Sundowns shot-stopper suffered a groin injury to his left upper thigh in the 38th minute.

Onyango was replaced at half-time of their 3-0 loss to the African champions on Wedenesday and in now a doubt for their 2017 AFCON opener against Ghana on January 17 at Stade de Port Gentil and perhaps the rest of the tournament.

Meanwhile, here is what FUFA’s statement about the issue.

Uganda Cranes goal custodian Denis Onyango got injured but the medical team is tirelessly working on his condition for a better.

We wish him quick recovery
