Express’ Musiige raring to go after injury setback


Much was expected from Charles Musiige when he joined six-time champions Express FC from Tooro United on a two-year contract during the off-season.
 
The forward’s ability to play on either wing and in several other forward positions had him nicknamed ‘Mr. Utility’ by teammates.
 
And he did his reputation no harm featuring in the club’s opening two games in which he replaced Ibrahim Kayiwa after 21 minutes in the opening game a 1-all draw against Onduparaka.
 
He then started the subsequent game against Bright Stars with his run on the right setting up Eric Kambale’s goal in a 2-1 win at the Betway Muteesa II Stadium.
 
Injury however struck with the forward suffering a muscle strain against Bright Stars to keep him out of the last two games before the Chan break.
 
Musiige was therefore understandably thrilled after returning to full training with the team as they prepare for the league resumption expected next month when the national team returns from the Championship of African Nations (Chan) tournament.
 
“I am glad to be back although I started with light training, I now can make a few runs and sprints so am sure I’ll bounce back stronger and better," Musiige told the club website this week.
 
"I am also glad that all my mates reported back in good health, as a team we look good in shape, it’s important because we continue preparing as a team,” he added.
 
Undeterred, Musiige is still setting ambitious targets for the Red Eagles who are without a league or Cup trophy since 2012 when they last lifted the league crown.
 
“My ambition is to work harder, create more, and score when the opportunity comes but the main aim is to get silverware at the end of the season” He adds.
 
The six-time league champions sit sixth on the 16 team log and resume their league campaign away to high flying URA FC in February when the league resumes.
