Jonathan Morsay to miss Sierra Leone friendly with hamstring injury

Attacker Jonathan Morsay to miss Sierra Leone friendly in Turkey after suffering from a hamstring injury in Panaitolikos  2-1 defeat to Olympiacos Piraeus on Saturday, the player has revealed.

The 24-year-old was making his eighth appearance when he hurt his hamstring before he was substituted in the 76th minute.

Born in Sweden to a Sierra Leonean dad Morsay is yet to appear for the Leone Stars, having missed last month training camp in Morocco.

“I was supposed to go, but now I hurt my hamstring. So, I won’t be available,” Morsay to FSL Sports.

Sierra Leone will continue with their African Cup of Nations preparation this month in Turkey, facing Comoros in Instabul.

Morsay has joined Barnet defender David Sesay and Orebro left-back Kevin Wright on the injury sideline list.

Defender David Sesay out for ‘a few weeks’ with groin problem

Sierra Leone defender David Sesay has confirmed he will be out for up to four weeks with a groin injury following a recent scan result.

The Barnet defender made his Sierra Leone debut in a 1-1 draw against South Sudan on Oct 6 and went on to play the remaining two matches during the training camp in Morocco against the Gambia and home-based Moroccan side.

Sesay, 23, sustained the injury in the game against the home-based Morocco side at the Stade El Bachir, Mohammédia, last month.

As a result, the former Crawley Town player will miss the Leone Stars training camp in Turkey, where Sierra Leone is expected to face Comoros national side this month.

Since returning to his club, he has not played in their last three outings in their defeat to Wrexham, 2-1 win over Stockport County
and last Saturday win against Aldershot Town.

“Small tear in my groin but should be back beginning of December,” he briefly told FSL Sports

Striker Augustine Williams nets brace in seven-goal thriller

Striker Augustine Williams nets brace in seven-goal thriller

Sierra Leone striker  Augustine Williams scored twice for San Diego Loyal, but his goals were not enough as Jeremy Bokila last-gasp winner from the penalty spot saw Oakland Roots secure a 4-3 triumph on Sunday afternoon at Torero Stadium.

Despite the defeat, manager Landon Donovan looks set to clinch a USL Championship playoff spot. 

Williams breaks the deadlock after sliding into the six-yard box to slot in a pinpoint cross by Hertzog. It was his fifth goal of the season since his loan move from LA Galaxy II in August. 

Oakland Roots level the scoring from an own goal as Callum Montgomery sent the ball into his net in the 35th minute. 

After the restart, Oakland Roots scored two more goals as they strived for a positive result. Jesus Enriquez and Akeem O’Conner-Ward 52nd and 58th minutes goals, respectively, gave the visitors a 3-1 lead before Williams registered his sixth of the season assisted by Elijah Martin in the 77th-minute to make it 3-2.

With four minutes to go, San Diego scored their equaliser through Hertzog right foot from the left side of the penalty area into the bottom-right corner of the net.

A late drama Oakland was reduced to 10 men as Tarek Morad was sent off for abusive language, giving SD Loyal a man advantage. 

However, despite a man down, Roots scored their fourth of the day after Rodriguez was brought down by Guerrero for a penalty kick. Bokila stepped up to the spot and shot high into the top-left corner past the dive of the goalkeeper to restore Roots SC’s lead.
