The Guinean Football Federation announced this Saturday, December 25 that Florentin Pogba and Antoine Conte would be withdrawn for the 2021 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon (January 9-February 6, 2022).

Sochaux's central defender has a left knee and right ankle injury and won't be ready in time.

The right-back from Universitatea Craiova (Romania), called for the first time with Syli National, does not consider himself to be "100% of his means" after three months without playing due to an injury.

To replace them in the list of 28, coach Kaba Diawara has decided to summon locals Fodé Camara (Horoya) and Gaoussou Youssouf Siby (Wakrya).
