Two key Liberia defenders to miss clash against Eagles

The Liberia Football Association has confirmed that two of its experienced defenders will miss the crucial encounter against Nigeria on Saturday.

Jimmy Dixon of Swedish club BK Hacken and Omega Roberts Alamadine of Serbian side FK Smederevo will not form part of the team that go into the clash at the weekend in Calabar.

According to LFA sports person Henry Flomo, the duo will not form part of the Lone Star squad due to injury.

Dixon by far the most experienced after skipper George Gebro played the full 90 minutes in the 2-2 draw in Monrovia while Roberts was substituted in the first half after grabbing his hamstring.

Flomo however boasted of being beefed up with eight overseas players and awaiting two more on Thursday in Accra where the team has been having training camp ahead of the encounter.

Meanwhile the Lone Star will depart for Nigeria on Thursday for the derby, but a brief ceremony will take place at the Roberts International Airport following the team’s arrival from Accra where they have been on a training camp on chatter flight before picking up for Calabar the venue of Saturday’s match.
