The country’s leading scorer in the first qualifying rounds of the joint 2010 football campaign will not play the away match against Senegal.

Oliver Makor who has scored two goals from three games so far in the qualifying rounds is suspended.

Makor has two yellow cards and could not make the trip to Senegal with the rest of the squad on Thursday.

Senegal will host Liberia this Saturday in what promises to be a bustling showdown in Dakar.

The two counties met last Sunday in Monrovia and the match finished 2 -2 in an entertaining fashion.

Liberia must upset group leader Senegal if the country wants to stand a chance for passage to the final qualifying rounds.

Meanwhile, reports from Dakar say Dulee Johnson will miss the match due to malaria.

George Gebro and Esiah Benson will return from injury and suspension respectively.

Veteran midfielder Kelvin Sebwe said the game was crucial to the survival of the Lone Star in the qualifying rounds.

Kelvin Sebwe speaking from Dakar said they were in high spirit and were ready to upset the Senegalese.
