The Group L fixture rescheduled for June 14 at the General Lansana Conte Stadium in Conakry did not take place amid another Covid-19 storm.
While the Leone Stars were warming up for the make-or-break encounter, news emanated that six of the hosts’ players, namely Ibrahim Sesay, Francis Koroma, Augustus Kargbo, Idriss Kanu, Alusin Koroma and Kassim Sima Turay tested positive for the virus.
And as a result of that, John Keister’s men refused to go on with the encounter as they probed the timing and reliability of the Covid-19 tests. After several hours of delays, the crunch tie was postponed.
