“We have been training for the last three weeks; I don’t think we are adequately prepared,”Debbah said.

“It is a problem for the techinical staff when the players are not in camp,they go home and wedo not monitor their activities.”

“From what i know we have not beaten Senegal before but that is in the past,it could be changed if we are given the necessary support,”the Lone Star head coach asserted.

Liberia are expected to depart the country Thursday,Spetember 7,2017 for the first round of the tournament that will be played on a knockout basis.
