Goalkeeper Baboucarr Gaye who plies his trade with second tier German side Armenia Berefield, is out of the friendlies in Marackech upon sustaining a broken finger.
Portugal-based attacker Yusupha Njie will also miss the tie due to a meniscus injury as well as his half-brother Tijan Jaiteh who’s suffering from a hamstring.
