Swedish based Alexis Bakka has failed to impress Uganda Cranes Coach Sebastien Desabre for a final spot on the team to play in AFCON.
Bakka who turns out for Carlstad FC, a club in third tier division in Sweden, is among the three players that have officially been dropped by Desabre.
The striker had transferred from Umea Football Club where notched 11 goals in the 2018 season to join Carlstad in January this year.
This was his first time to be summoned on the National team but he failed to convince the coach when he came on to replace Patrick Kaddu in the 55th minute in a goalless draw against Turkmenistan.
KCCA FC midfielder Ibrahim Saddam Juma and Ethiopia based Krisestom Ntambi also failed to make the cut. None of these two played a minute in a game against Turkmenistan.
Juma made his senior team debut for the senior team against Tanzania on 2 March 2010. He also took part in the 2011 African Nations Championship in Sudan.
