Two additional players from overseas are expected to be part of the
Lone Star's delegation to Senegal.
The Liberian national soccer team will meet the Lions of Teranga of
Senegal in the combined 2006 World and Nations Cup qualifiers.
According to reports, defender Chris Gbandi and Francis Grandpa Doe, a
striker, have volunteered their services for the national team.
Sources have it that the United States players have chosen to play for
the Lone Star at their own expense.
Gbandi, who plays for the Dallas Burns, allegedly took the decision
because he is being linked to a club in Europe. Thus, constant matches
for the national team are likely to brighten his chance.
Ten players from abroad were selected by the Liberia Football
Association (LFA) to be combined with eight local players for the trip
to Dakar. The foreign-based players include John Menyongar, Kelvin
Sebwe, Oliver Makor, George Gebro, Louis Crayton, Dioh Williams and
Jimmy Dixon.
