Guinea will field a strong side against Mauritania when the two sides clash next Saturday in an international friendly in Nouakchott.

New coach Paul Put will use the March 24 friendly to prepare for their upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with no surprise inclusions in the team.

Among those called to join the team include captain Naby Keita of RB Leipzig and France based duo of Mohammed Lamine and Ibrahima Conte.

Sekou Conde, of Amka Pem in the Russia League, and a decided flop in Guinea’s 2018 World Cup campaign, gets another chance at international football.

So too does Alkhaly Bangoura , who makes a return after a one year hiatus and unsettled Kaba Sorry, whose career has been marked by many short-lived career moves abroad.
