Sierra Leone senior national team coach John Keister has invited 16 foreign-based players for next week’s 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Nigeria, with veteran Minnesota United striker Kei Kamara the pick of the selections.
The West Africans zoned alongside Lesotho and Benin Republic in Group L have made a poor start in the race to Cameroon 2022.
Having recorded a draw against the Crocodiles and defeat to the Squirrels, the Leone Stars sit at the base of the log with just one point.
To revive their qualification ambitions, coach Keister has invited a strong squad to face group leaders Nigeria in Benin City and Freetown, with Kamara who scored a goal against Liberia during the second leg of the 2022 World Cup qualifier in September, earning a recall.
