St Johnstone striker, Adam Sidibeh, has been left out of another Gambia squad.
Head coach, Jonathan McKinstry, chose not to select the 26-year-old for October’s internationals as Sidibeh had just come to the end of a lengthy suspension.
Sidibeh has since played five Premiership games for Saints, four of those from the start, but his performances haven’t proved to be enough to earn him a recall.
McKinstry named eight forwards in his 24-man squad for the African Cup of Nations double-header against Comoros and Tunisia, however the January signing wasn’t one of them.
Sidibeh will be hoping to end a seven-game goal drought when Saints face Motherwell at Fir Park on Saturday.
“It’s about putting the ball in the back of the net,” said McKinstry, explaining his striker selections.
“Goal-scoring is the most difficult thing to do in football.
“We’re very thankful that we’ve got a number of players who are in good form with their clubs. There are a lot of guys who have been scoring goals recently.”
