In a much-anticipated move, Sierra Leone’s National Team manager, John Keister, has revealed his 23-man squad ahead of their crucial clash with Guinea Bissau.
This high-stakes encounter is set to be the closing act of the African Cup qualifier, scheduled for Monday, September 11, 2023, in Guinea Bissau.
One of the most notable inclusions in Keister’s squad is the return of QPR’s talented right-back, Osman Kakay. Kakay makes a triumphant comeback after being sidelined due to injury in previous matches. Additionally, Amadu Bakayoko has received the call-up and is set to join the ranks.
