Guinea vs Gambia Team News
Guinea team news
Guinea will have to make do without arguably their best player, Liverpool’s Naby Keita, who picked up his second yellow card in as many games against Zimbabwe last time out.
The fitness of Toulouse midfielder Issiaga Sylla is the other major concern for Guinea. The midfielder left the Zimbabwe game with an injury late on. Morlaye Sylla is likely to deputise in Sylla’s absence.
Guinea predicted lineup vs Guinea:
Keita; Kane, M Camara, Sow, Conte; Moriba, Kane, Cisse, A Camara; Bayo, Kante
The Gambian national side will be at full strength for today’s last sixteen clash. But, it will be interesting to see whether it’s Ballow, Jallow, or both players favored in the attack.
Barrow has one goal and two assists to his name at the tournament to date, while Jallow scored the equalizer vs Tunisia last time up.
Gambia predicted line-up vs Zimbabwe:
Gaye; Modou, Colley, Gomez, Jagne; Sohna, Bobb, Marreh; Jallow, Barrow, Ceesay
