Malawi
- Guinea will be without the likes of Florentin Pogba and Francois Kamano through injury, while Olympiacos midfielder Mady Camara was somewhat of a surprise omission from the squad.
- Former Barcelona and Spain youth international Ilaix Moriba has confirmed his allegiance to Guinea and will hope to play a part this month having failed to make an impact at RB Leipzig to date.
- However, Kaba Diawara's side are strong in the midfield area so the teenager will have to bide his time with the likes of Amadou Diawara, Naby Keita and captain Ibrahima Sory Conte ahead of him.
- The decision to leave Gerald Phiri Jr. - one of just two players in the ranks with double figures for international goals - on the reserve list seems a curious one.
- The other such player is Orlando Pirates forward Gabadinho Mhango, who will lead the line for the Group B underdogs.
- Romanian coach Mario Marinica has just two players at his disposal who ply their trade in Europe, with youngster Charles Petro - on the books of Champions League debutants FC Sheriff - perhaps one to keep an eye on, capable of playing at the back or in midfield.
