Tom Saintfiet has named Hamburg forward Bakery Jatta in his provisional 36-man squad for Gambia’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in November.
The Belgian boss had been unable to invite the 21-year-old to the national team given the legal issues the youngster faced in Germany over his identity.
Nuremberg, VfL Bochum and Karlsruher SC all filed reports to the authorities after encounters with Hamburg, citing the player was older than he claimed, while he’d played using a different name in the past, Bakery Daffeh.
