A total of seven home-based players are handed a call-up to the Gambia national team set for a friendly against Nations Cup joint host Gabon next month.
Gambia is set to honour an invitation from the Gabonese football authorities for a test in Libreville early June as the Scorpions brace up ahead of their remaining African Cup of Nations group game qualifiers.
Seven local-based players are expected to join host foreign players for a week-long collective training at the Bakau Independence stadium before the team jet to the West Central African country.
Gamtel and U-20 goalkeeper Musa Camara is called in for the fourth time after he last stood between the sticks at senior level against Guinea Bissau. Bakau United’s Alagie Nyabally is also up for the test and is expected to be a surrogate goalkeeper to veteran glove man Pa Dembo Touray, who doubles as team captain.
Wallidan’s Momodou Lamin Gibba, Abdoulie Jallow and Samger’s Lamin Samateh are listed for the tie. Dodou Suso and Gamtel striker Ali Sowe are up for the training.
