Guinea Midfielder Morlaye Sylla Left Out of AFCON Squad After Accusing Teammates and Technical Staff of Stealing Vinicius Jr Jersey

Guinea’s national football team has announced its squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), but midfielder Morlaye Sylla finds himself omitted following a contentious incident involving the disappearance of a treasured Vinicius Jr shirt.

The incident dates back to June during a friendly match against Brazil, where Sylla reportedly received a jersey from Brazilian superstar Vinicius Jr. However, the shirt mysteriously vanished from the team’s locker room, prompting Sylla to publicly accuse both his teammates and the technical staff of involvement in the disappearance.

The fervor around the missing jersey escalated, leading to a tense atmosphere within the team. Despite efforts to resolve the issue internally, the situation remained unresolved, ultimately resulting in Sylla’s absence from the AFCON squad selection.
