Sierra Leone international midfielder Alhassan Koroma will be unavailable for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Zambia after suffering a hamstring injury in the recent match against Chad.

The injury, sustained during the goalless draw in Liberia, has sidelined the influential player, dealing a significant blow to Sierra Leone’s squad.

Koroma’s absence will be felt as Sierra Leone prepares to face Zambia at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on Tuesday for their second AFCON 2025 qualifier.

The team will be looking to secure a crucial victory after the disappointing draw with Chad in their opening match of the campaign.
