Guinea coach Paul Put has confirmed that Jose Fonte is not expected to be back in action until the Africa Cup of Nations game against Burundi on June 30.
The Legia Warsaw wide man took a knock in the defeat against the Pharaohs and was substituted in the 55th minute for the eventual scorer of Guinea’s only goal, Sory Kaba.
After further examinations from the medical team, Kante is now expected to miss Guinea’s opening two Group B games, against the Barea and the Super Eagles.
“The x-ray wasn’t good. The next day, we carried out [further] tests and it was better,” Put is quoted as saying by Foot224.
