Defender David Sesay resumes Wealdstone first-team training

Sierra Leone defender David Sesay has returned to Wealdstone first-team training a few days after joining the club.

The former Barnet centre half, who has been on the sidelined since October, confirmed his return to first-team training with his new club. However, there is still uncertainty on when he will make his debut for his new side. 

Wealdstone will engage promotion-chasing FC Halifax Town at the Grosvenor Vale on Saturday. 

Sesay played in all three matches for the Leone Stars in their training camp in October. He was injured in the last friendly against Morocco home-based side.

Wealdstone announced the signing of Sesay on a free transfer after leaving National League rivals Barnet on November 26 2021.

He made his Leone Stars debut in a 1-1 draw against South Sudan in a friendly international at the Stade El Abdi in Morocco.

The Watford Academy product began his professional career at Crawley Town, where he made 70 appearances in three seasons before joining Barnet this summer.

Algeria vs Morocco in Arab Cup Quarter-final, Egypt face Jordan

Following the Desert Warriors of Algeria 1-1 draw against the Pharaohs of Egypt on Tuesday, they will take on Morocco in a North African derby quarter-final on Saturday.

Mohamed Tougai put Algeria ahead in the 20th minute through a deflected shot, but Amr El-Sulya draws parity in the 59th minute of the game from the penalty spot.

The draw against Egypt also means they are unbeaten in 38 international games in all competitions.

However, Egypt earned the right to take on the Jordanians after edging Algeria in Group D. Both were level on every metric except Fair Play points, with a couple of stoppage time yellow and red cards tipping the balance ever so slightly in the Pharaohs’ favour.

  • The quarter-finals battle for the North African teams 

Tunisia takes on Oman at the Education City Stadium on Friday. On Saturday, Algeria will clash with Morocco in a north African derby at Al Thumama Stadium. The same day, the Pharaohs of Egypt will come face to face with Jordan at the Al Janoub Stadium.
