Vipers SC have included midfielder Taddeo Lwanga and defender Derrick Ndahiro in the squad to face UPDF FC in Bombo in the Uganda Premier League match today.
Lwanga missed the last two games after he suffered a cut in a 3-0 win over Lugazi FC at Kitende, in a game he was taken off just after 15 minutes and rushed to Hospital following a collision with Lugazi player Joseph Othieno.
Left back Derrick Ndahiro has been sidelined with an injury but has trained with the squad this week.
Vipers are top of the table with 44 points after 19 games and could restore a four-point advantage if they collect maximum points in Bombo.
They come into this fixture on the back of a tough assignment, beating Mbarara City on the road thanks to goals from Usama Arafat and Yunus Sentamu.
Sentamu, who scored his second goal of the season, will hope he can regain his scoring boots in a season he has struggled for playing time.
Vipers only defeat this season is a boardroom decision against Kitara, after the side refused to honour the fixture scheduled in Namboole due to their stance agaisnt the League format then.
UPDF on the other hand, sit second from the bottom with 13 points, and a win can send them out of the relegation zone.
Gusto Mulongo scored a brace while Milton Karisa, Robin Kane and Moses Waiswa were on target as Vipers beat UPDF 5-1 at Kitende in the reverse fixture last December.
