East End Lions first-choice keeper Mohamed Kamara has resumed full training programme with National home-based after recovering from a broken fibula that saw him out for eight months.
Kamara, who was the Leone Stars shot-stopper against Benin in matchday two of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, missed the entire season due to the injury he suffered against Old Edwardians in December 2019.
The 21-year-old, who was forced to sit out the entire 2020 campaign, confirmed he is back ready for action.
“I am back to full fitness. I am presently training with the National team selected in preparation for Nigeria matches, ” Kamara told FSL News.
“I was pleased after I saw my name on the list of invited players called by Coach John Keister.’
Kamara added, “I want to thank God for his mercy. As a footballer never easy to faced with such a difficult moment just a month after you make your debut for my country.”
Earlier this month, he posted videos on social media, doing some simple goalkeeping exercises reassuring his fans of his comeback.
Kamara was part of the East End Lions 2019 unbeaten side but will have to prove his fitness if he is to make the final squad for Nigeria in November.

- Kei Kamara scored a header in the 81st minute as he rescued the Colorado Rapids to a 1-1 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.
- Chris Wondolowski scored on a penalty kick for the Earthquakes in the 59th minute before Sierra Leone’s Kamara scored the leveller after he was introduced.
The goal took his tally to 129th MLS regular-season goal, placing him fifth on the all-time scoring charts and 32 goals behind MLS’s all-time leading scorer, San Jose’s 37-year-old Chris Wondolowski, who scored the opening goal of the match on a penalty kick.
“I think with Kei you have to start with genetics,” Rapids coach Robin Fraser said. “He’s obviously physically gifted. At his age, he’s as strong as can be.
He’s still fast, good timing, good jumper. He’s definitely blessed with good genes. And he takes very good care of himself. On top of that, he’s become a student of the game as he’s gone through it for so long. So, if you’re an intelligent player and you take care of yourself, and you have good genes, you can have a long career.”
Goals
- 59′ – SJ – Chris Wondolowski (PK)
- 81′ – COL – Kei Kamara

- Sierra Leone right-back Osman Kakay suffered a better-sweet experienced after Queen Park Rangers lost 3-2 against Plymouth Argyle in their EFL Cup first-round knockout tie.
Ryan Manning had open the scoring for the QPR after just 68 seconds after headed home from a corner from Llias Chair. However, half-hour later the host responded through Joe Edwards to make it 1 all.
Kakay, 23, registered his first senior goal that draws Rangers level straight after they fell behind early in the second half.
After Danny Mayor‘s shot from just inside the box beat keeper Joe Lumley in the 55th minutes, Kakay thumped home a cracking right-footed strike two-minute later.
Rangers might well have gone on to win the tie but the decisive moment came 12 minutes from time when QPR was punished for more sloppy work at the back.
Dom Telford was given space to cross from the left to unchallenged Frank Nouble, who stretched to volley in from close range to down Rangers.
