Obua identifies midfielder that deserves regular Cranes call-ups yet he's often ignored

The latter's gaffer David Obua, a legend who knows a thing about the national team, holds him with massive regard and believes he's tailored to play with the Cranes.

"Because they don't know his value, they will not call" versed URA FC midfielder Ibrahim Wamannah for a single Uganda Cranes summon.

The latter's gaffer David Obua, a legend who knows a thing about the national team, holds him with massive regard and believes he's tailored to play with the Cranes.

"The world doesn't see players like him. Why? Because he does things that other players cannot do," Obua said after Wamannah grabbed the leveller in their 4-1 over Calvary in the Stanbic Uganda Cup on Wednesday.

The goal, a thunderous drive from distance, unlocked the resilient Calvary, before Ivan Ahimbisibwe and Ibrahim Dada's brace sealed the deal.

"He commands the whole midfield, he's fighting and always aggressive. He's disciplined and these are the players that the national team should look at," Obua added.

"These are players that people should look at for what they do on the pitch not because they play for URA or whatever."

"It's about what Ibrahim does on the pitch, week in, week out. But of course when they call the national team they're going to leave out players like these, because they don't see the value they bring to Ugandan football."

Wamannah, who joined from UPDF at the start of the campaign, has featured 13 times in Uganda Premier League, to help URA to seventh on the log with 27 points.
