Afcon: Marcelo Djalo tops Guinea-Bissau's 29-man provisional squad

Fulham defender Marcelo Djalo has been named in Guinea-Bissau's 29-man provisional squad for this month's Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Djalo was eligible to play for Spain through his birth in Barcelona and Guinea-Bissau through his father but has pledged his international allegiance to the West Africans.

He was handed a call-up in March against Mozambique in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game but did not make his debut in the match.
