Head coach Sebastien Desabre will not stop reminding his players the value of camping in Abu Dhabi ahead of the Total AFCON Finals in Egypt 2019 that gets underway on 21st June.
With the numeral figures still at 17 players in camp, the tactician has still gone ahead to get the best out of his players. 11 more players will join camp between 2nd and 7th June.
‘You need to understand the importance of this camp in Abu Dhabi. I am happy with the attitude and the response to training. You are representing millions of fans back home and around the globe. They want to see you perform to your best’ said Sebastien before the players embarked on a warm up session that helps the technical team check on the endurance of the stars.
With the current weather in Abu Dhabi, the morning session under the souring heat would help the players adapt to the same environment they will find in Egypt.
The Frenchman later took the players through ball work with emphasis on so many aspects of the game.
Goalkeeper Denis Onyango continued to train on his own under the guidance of Fred Kajoba as the other three goal keepers Salim Jamal, Charles Lukwago and Robert Odongkara will only join later.
The Uganda Cranes will return to training later today at 7pm at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium
