Guinea suffer fourth squad withdrawal ahead of Eritrea qualifiers

Guinea have suffered a fourth withdrawal from their squad ahead of November’s gathering for the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

Rakow Czestochowa forward Lamine Diaby Fadiga is the latest player to be ruled out after sustaining what appears to be a serious injury during Sunday’s Polish league match against Legia Warsaw.

Diaby Fadiga was forced off in the 32nd minute, ending his hopes of taking part in Guinea’s eagerly anticipated double-header against Eritrea.

The forward joins a growing list of late absentees from the Syli National squad, with Saidou Sow, Soumaila Sylla and leading striker Serhou Guirassy already unavailable.

Guinea are preparing for two decisive matches against Eritrea as they continue their bid to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
