Guinea coach, Paul Put, has replaced Baissama Sankoh with striker Lass Bangoura after the former suffered a knock to his right thigh in the friendly game against the Pharaohs.
The Caen right full-back was withdrawn in the 39th minute of the 3-1 loss to the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) hosts and was replaced with Mikael Dyrestam. However, after further examination from the medical team, the France-born defender has now been ruled out of the Afcon finals scheduled to kick off on Friday.
Following the injury blow, Put has called up Vancouver Whitecaps striker Bangoura.
