Midtylland's new-signing Sory Kaba was dropped to the bench against Algeria due to fatigue, Guinea coach Paul Put has revealed.
Kaba had been a regular fixture for Guinea's team at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), starting all their group games with a goal to his credit [against Madagascar].
On Sunday, the forward was dropped to the bench and was an unused substitute as the Syli Nationale suffered a 3-0 defeat against Algeria in their Round of 16 fixture.
After the defeat which resulted in their elimination from the competition, Put gave an explanation for his attacking decision.
