The StarTimes Uganda Premier League makes a return from the October International break with matches starting this Thursday October 19.
Even in the early stages of the season, coaches must take into account the absence of players in their squads through suspension.
Any player earning three bookings serves a one match ban in the Premier League while a player who gets sent off with a straight red card or two bookings that lead to a red card serves two match ban as per section of Article 25 of the Fufa Competitions Rules.
Here are the players suspended for Match Day 4
Darius Ojok (Maroons): The Maroons winger started his club’s 2-1 win over KCCA with two bookings earned from games against Wakiso Giants and SC Villa and received a third booking.
Ojok will miss his side’s home clash against perfect BUL on Friday October 20 at Luzira.
Tshishungu Kakonde (KCCA): The DR Congo born striker remains out for the Kasasiro’s away fixture against Kitara.
The match completes the striker’s eight match ban from last season and will be available for selection in the next match after Kitara’s visit.
Ben Tahomera (BUL): The centre back was sent off in the win over Arua Hill at Paridi.
The red card means Tahomera misses the trip to Maroons on Friday and BUL’s clash with SC Villa on October 27 on match day 5.

- Paul Willa (Wakiso Giants)
