The Gambia Junior Scorpions squad is expected to jet back into the country on Monday afternoon from Bamako,Mali.

Scorpions were mauled 4-0 by the ruthless Eagles in the CHAN 2018 Zone West A second-leg match that was played at the Stade Modibo Kéïta in Mali’s capital city, Bamako.

Gambia had managed to hold Malians into goalless draw in the first-leg clash at the Independence Stadium in Bakau last weekend.

The team is expected to depart Bamako on Sunday afternoon and is expected to land in Dakar,Senegal on Sunday evening en route to Banjul.

The Gambia could have booked an easy date with the outright winner between Mauritania and Liberia for the next stage of the qualifier if they could have crossed the hurdle over Mali.

The players will then be allowed to rejoin their respective clubs.
