Eritrea

Another key player has been forced to withdraw from Guinea’s November camp. Lamine Diaby Fadiga is out of the games against Eritrea in the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.

Guinea will be without Lamine Diaby Fadiga for its two-legged tie against Eritrea during the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. The Raków Częstochowa player picked up an injury in the Polish league on Sunday.

He had to leave the pitch in the 32nd minute against Legia Warsaw. The injury rules him out of joining the Syli National for the November camp.

🚨LAMINE DIABY-FADIGA FORFAIT AVEC LE SYLI NATIONAL POUR LA TRÊVE INTERNATIONALE ! L’international guinéen s’est blessé face au Legia et va manquer le rassemblement de la Guinée. Lamine Diaby-Fadiga rejoint une infirmerie qui commence à se remplir notamment avec l’absence de, Serhou Guirassy, Saidou Sow et Soumaila Sylla.

The injury list grows

Lamine Diaby Fadiga’s withdrawal comes on top of those of Serhou Guirassy, Saïdou Sow and Soumaïla Sylla. Coach Paulo Duarte has therefore lost another attacking option, following the already announced absence of the Borussia Dortmund striker.

As a reminder, Serhou Guirassy scored Guinea’s only goal in their win over Kenya in the previous international window. Guinea had then secured their first victory in the qualifiers after losing to South Africa.
