As the national soccer team the Lone Star leaves for Congo Brazzaville tomorrow to honor her international assignment in the joint qualifier - the nation cup and the world cup - there are signs that four Liberia professional Players may not show up for the match in Brazzaville.

A highly placed source informed The Analyst Sports Desk yesterday that Liberia's Celebrated Star James Debah is expected to leave for the United States on his private visit.

Sources close to Debah say he may not be in Brazzaville with the Lone Star. Like Debah, Prince Daye may not be in Congo for the match. Prince is reportedly nursing his injury from the last match with Mali.

Two other Liberian professionals, Frank Seator and Fallah Johnson have serous club assignments and may not be on hand for the away match.

When contacted, the Technical Director of Lone Star, Coach Kardala Kromah confirmed that Prince Daye, Fallah Johnson and striker Frank Seaton will not be on hand due to club engagements, except for James Debbah, whom he is yet to get any information about.

The Lone Star Technical Director said he is going to Congo with the same team, though he said that with the present development as it relate to the absence of some of the players, he was finding it difficult to make any final decision.

He however disclosed that Jimmy Dixon, Dio Williams and Alvin Kieh will be coming for the match in Congo.

He said professional players Anthony Lanford, Ben Tiklon, Sunday Siah and Eziah Benson have not left.

Meanwhile the National Soccer Team began training yesterday at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium.

Liberia is second in her group with 3 points, 1goal behind Senegal with 3 points, 2 goals, while Mali and Congo are at the bottom of the table with no points.
