Although his name was not on the official list announced by the SLFA, Tyrese Fornah’s League One club, Northampton, has confirmed his availability.
Meanwhile, Football Sierra Leone understands the home-based delegation will depart Freetown today, as foreign-based players are already travelling to join the Leone Stars Camp.
A full assembly squad is expected by Tuesday in Guinea-Bissau for this decisive match that could shape the team’s journey towards the World Cup.
Guinea-Bissua v Sierra Leone will be officiated by a team of referees from the Ivory Coast at the Estadio 24 de Setembro in Bissau.
The Djurtus are looking to avenge the 3-1 defeat suffered at Sierra Leone back in March in the Liberian Capital at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex.
Current Standings: Guinea-Bissau is two points adrift of Sierra Leone, currently in third place in their group with 8 points.
Sierra Leone’s hopes for the USA, Canada, and Mexico 2026 World Cup are still alive, with just 15 days to go in the hunt to increase their point on the table.
