Liberia: Erradi Faces Selection Test as Lone Star Prepares for Cape Verde

The selection features a mix of seasoned international veterans and emerging talents spread across all departments as Lone Star prepares for a crucial test.

Ashley Williams, Derrick Julu, and Amos Wesseh have been named as the three goalkeepers.

The defensive line comprises Sampson Dweh, Jusu Dukuly, Emmanuel Fully, Sebastien Teclar, Jamal Arago, Bryant Farkarlun, Mark Pabai, and Philip Tarnue.

In midfield, Solomon Tweh, Divine Teah, Noah Kenneh, Kindness Cole, and Mo Sangare will offer Erradi options for control and creativity.

The attacking force is completed by Franklin Nyenetu, Prince Martor Jr., Edward Ledlum, Ralph Weah, Ayoub Kosia, Kpah Sherman, Sylvanus Nimely, and Williams Gibson.

While the depth of the squad offers several tactical possibilities, public attention will ultimately center on Erradi’s setup and his capacity to extract maximum performance from the roster.

The back-to-back encounters against Cape Verde are expected to rigorously test Liberia’s defensive organization, midfield discipline, and firepower up front. For Erradi, the task goes beyond mere selection—it is a test of whether he can forge a cohesive, competitive unit capable of restoring supporter confidence in the national team’s trajectory.

The Lone Star’s local delegation, comprising four players and technical staff, departed early Sunday for Praia, Cape Verde.

The first leg will take place in Cape Verde on November 13, while the second leg will take place in Liberia on November 17.
