0

Kampala Queens winger Zainah Nandede risks missing out on the rest of the 2023/24 FUFA Women Super League (FWSL) season as she’s out, nursing an ankle injury that will keep her sidelined for at least three weeks.

“Nandede sustained a Grade II ankle sprain injury that will see her sidelined for 21 days,” the club confirmed on Monday.

Nandede sustained the injury during Sunday’s highly contested league match between Kampala Queens and She Mak, which ended in an thrilling 2-2 draw.

It’s a huge blow for the defending Champions who will be missing one of their league top scorers at such a crucial stage of the season.

Nandede has scored four goals so far, same as her teammates Catherine Nagadya and Lilian Kasuubo. Other players with four goals are Kawempe Muslim’s pair of Hadijah Nandago and Yudaya Nakayenze, plus Rines SS duo of Amina Nababi and Justine Ayerango.

Only Uganda Martyrs’ Latifah Nakasi (5), Asubo Ladies’ Kamiyat Naigaga (6), She Maroons’ Jackline Adong (8) plus Kawempe Muslim’s Agnes Nabukenya (9) and SHE Mak’s Sharon Namatovu (9) have scored more than Nandede in the league so far.

Nandede is set to miss atleast two crucial upcoming fixtures for Kampala Queens, at home against Lady Doves on Sunday, April 28, and away to She Maroons on Sunday May, 12.By Sunday, May 19, the winger could, and really should be back to help the Queens of Soccer against record league winners and current table leaders Kawempe Muslim in the last game of the season, that could also potentially directly decide the winner, depending on how results will turn out before the final day.

As it stands, Kawempe Muslim still lead the 10-team table with 34 points from 15 games, having won 10, drawn 4 and lost just once.

Meanwhile, Kampala Queens are second with 27 points, 7 behind log leaders, having also played a game less. The Queens of Soccer have so far managed 7 wins, 6 draws and also lost just once.
