The Syli National will have to cope without one of its key players for the remainder of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. While Guinea holds a slim chance of making the playoffs, the team loses a crucial element of its central defense.

Suffering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a training session with FC Nantes, Saïdou Sow is forced to end his season.

The Nantes club, which welcomed the defender on loan from Strasbourg in January, confirmed the news on Tuesday, April 29, via a statement. Here's a glimpse:

The Syli National loses one of its pillars!

At 22 years old, the Conakry native already has 28 caps and one goal for Guinea. A regular starter when called up, he will miss the last four qualifying matches, including two crucial clashes against Mozambique and Botswana in October.

This injury comes at a delicate time for Sow, who was already sidelined during the last gathering in March. This new setback could weaken his position within the national team, where competition is expected to be fierce in the coming months.
