Newly appointed Sierra Leone coach, Leroy Rosenior, has named a 21-man squad to face Togo in Freetown on Sunday in a 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifying match.
The squad for the Group Nine game includes thirteen foreign-based players and includes three new caps Albert Jarrett, Melvin Kamara and Ahmed Deen, who all play in England.
"It′s been a little bit hectic selecting the players, we had 35 players and we′ve cut it down to 20 and I′m expecting one more player from Norway," Rosenior told BBC Sport.
"It′s been fantastic settling down with the players and one thing that has struck me is the high motivation of these players. They desperately want to do well, this is fantastic and if I can channel that in the right direction then we′ve got chance to achieve something. I′m getting to know the players and forming a good relationship with them and I think it′s going to work well."
The big name missing from the list is the Leone Stars captain, Mohamed Kallon, who along with three other players are serving bans imposed on them by the Confederation of African Football.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Habib Sesay and Christian Coker (both Kallon FC)
Defenders: Mustapha Sama (LG-ACB Hanoi, Vietnam), Gibrilla Woobay (Universitatea Gaiova, Romania), Seyney Kargbo (FC Brussels, Belgium), Mohamed Fornah (Cenegal FC), Ibrahim Koroma (Kallon FC), Abu Tommy (Mighty Blackpool), Ahmed Deen (St Albans, England)
Fowards: Julius Conteh and Jamil Kargbo (both Dukaya, Cyprus) Abdul Deen Sesay (Ports Authority), Sheriff Suma (GAIS, Sweden)
