Steven Caulker out as Sierra Leone confirm Guinea-Bissau Squad
Sierra Leone skipper Steven has been left out for the trip to Guinea-Bissau as coach John Keister named his squad for the African Cup of Nations final Group A contest in Bissau.
The Djurtus Wild Dogs of Bissau will host Sierra Leone on Monday at the Estádio 24 de Setembro to wrap up the qualifiers.
There is a first-time call-up for midfielder Mamadu Saidu Sow, based in Spain.
Other notable inclusions are Queens Park Rangers right-back Osman Kakay, Al Shahaniya midfielder Alhassan Koroma, AEL Limassol attacker Jonathan Morsay, Amadou Bakayoko, who is on loan to Scottish side Dundee FC from Forest Green Rovers, Charleston Battery‘s striker Augustine Williams, Augustus Kargbo from Cesena, Rodney Michael and Emmanuel Samadia.
Nine foreign-based players listed for the trip as Sierra Leone will want to end the qualifiers on a high note by winning in Bissau after both teams played to a 2-2 draw in their first meeting in June 2022.
Guinea-Bissau, on the other hand, will aim to win a fourth match in the group stage for the first time when they host the Leone Stars.
Guinea-Bissua, alongside the Super Eagles of Nigeria, have already secured qualification to next year’s AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire from Group A.
