Former Uganda Cranes captain and goalkeeper Denis Onyango has expressed his willingness to make a u-turn to the national team, Uganda Cranes fold.
In his teasing social media post, Onyango said; “Going into the international break with another clean sheet. Maybe it’s time to join Uganda Cranes camp for the Kigali mission.”
Currently, Cranes are in camp preparing for the World Cup qualifiers double-header against Rwanda.
Cranes Head Coach Micho Sredojevic already summoned his provisional squad with four goalkeepers and Onyango is not among them.
In April this year, arguably one of the best players to have donned the Cranes jersey, Onyango announced his retirement from the national team at the age of 35-years.
As captain, Onyango led the Cranes to the first-ever AFCON finals after 39 years as the team qualified for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. He conceded only two goals in six matches in their qualifying group. He has captained the Uganda Cranes at two AFCON finals in 2017 Gabon and 2019 in Egypt. He has made 75 appearances for the Cranes.
However, Onyango hinted at a possible return to the national team but not as a player.
