Guinea Names Squad For Eagles, ’Morrow

Guinea coach Michel Dussuyer is expected to name his Syli Stars squad to face Nigeria in the crucial last Nations Cup qualifiers by tomorrow.

Keita Kabbassan, an official of the Guinea Football Federation, told Tidesports source that the ministry was not aware of the list circulating online and only expect the coach to send in his selection later this week.

“I don’t know about that one, but we have not received the selection from the coach.

“On Thursday, we will get the names and the media here are all waiting for it,” he said.

Guinea will spend five days training in Paris before flying to Abuja, but Kabbaassan admitted that that was Plan B, with financial trouble forcing the federation to jettison the original plan of bringing the squad to Conakry.

“Our Plan A was to bring the players to Conakry, and come to Nigeria from there. But we have trouble with money, and so the players will stay in France, and we will come to Abuja with a commercial flight.”

Guinea lead the group on 13 points, three more than Nigeria, who need to win by 1-0 or two clear goals to finish as group winners.
