Mustapha Bundu could make debut against Norwich

Sierra Leone International Mustapha Bundu was an unused substitute in Plymouth Argyle’s 4-1 defeat to  Bristol City on Tuesday but could make his official debut this weekend.

Plymouth Argyle hosts Norwich for their first meeting since the 2008-09 campaign, with the Canaries winning both matches that season.

The winger seems pleased to have finally started working with his new teammates and told the club’s website about his delight.

“My first day’s been really good,” said Mustapha after their first session with his new teammates.

 “The players, everyone around the club has welcomed me pretty well. It is been easy to join the guys.

“It’s been a bit stressful, but both parties knew we had to be a bit patient because of all the visa stuff.

“I know it’s a very good club, a very loving club. The people are close, and a massive fan base travels all around the country to support the team which has been through a lot over the last few years.

“I said yes to the offer, to the opportunity to take another step in my career.”

Norwich have only won five of their 32 league visits to Plymouth Argyle but did win their last game there in September 2008 under Glenn Roeder.

Plymouth Argyle have won 22 of their 26 home league matches since the start of last season (D1 L3), which is the most of any side within the top four tiers of English league football in that time.

On Saturday, Sierra Leone International Alex Bangura made his Middlesbrough debut in their 2-1 defeat against Blackburn Rovers at Edwood Park.

The left-back was forced in the 68th minute in Saturday’s defeat as he missed the Middlesbrough Championship 1-1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.

Carrick said after Tuesday’s draw, “It is a hamstring injury that Alex has picked up. We’re still assessing that one in terms of how bad it is, but obviously he wasn’t right for tonight.”

After his Boro debut, his manager Carrick had said that he hoped it would just be a cramp as they were waiting for test results when he last spoke to the media ahead of Tuesday evening’s trip to Hillsborough.

The German club want to strengthen their right-back position as the former Tottenham youth defender Kallum Cesay was on test.

Cesay, 21, was released by the London club at the end of the season, still in search of a new destination in club football. 

On Tuesday, Bremen informed the player and his agent that they were not planning to work with him.

Professional boss Clemens Fritz told BILD: “After long considerations, we decided against a commitment. Kallum made a good contribution to the days, both physically and personally, and gave his all. But he is still a long way from the Bundesliga. 

He added, “Using him primarily in the U23 would have made no sense. We didn’t want to harm any of our boys who we want to develop.”

The Sierra Leone national player with four caps has now left Bremen.

Amadou Bakayoko’s Dundee beaten by Celtic in Scottish League

Dundee United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Celtic 3-0 in Glasgow despite the Dark Blues keeping Celtic at bay in the first half on Saturday. 

Amadou Bakayoko, who scored in the Leone Stars final African Cup of Nations qualifiers in a 2-1 defeat to Guinea-Bissau, played the full-throttle in Dundee United’s defeat to Celtic.

Celtic climbed two points at the top of the Scottish Premiership after eventually overwhelming stubborn visitors Dundee.

The Sierra Leone International was making his sixth appearance since joining on a season-long loan from Forest Green Rovers.

David Turnbull opened the scoring from the penalty spot after the Scotland midfielder went down on the edge of the penalty box. Kyogo Furuhashi headed the second before he set up Matthew O’Riley for their third in the 67-minute.

As a result, the visitors were left to rue a golden opportunity to open the scoring during a goalless first half.

The defeat means Dundee sitting in ninth after winless in their last two 

.From the section Scottish Premiership matches. They will host Kilmarnock on Saturday as they look to bounce back from recent defeats.

Augustus Kargbo was delighted to open his Cesena account

Sierra Leone International Augustus Kargbo was delighted to get off the mark after opening his account for Serie C side Cesena FC.

The attacker, who signed for The White and Blacks a few days ago on a three-year deal, scored the third goal in their 3-1 win on Friday.

Kargbo scored his first as Cesena registered a 3-1 win over Pontedera on Friday in the Lepro League round three.

“I’m happy to have been able to lend a hand to the team. I don’t know how many times I’ve thanked Cristian Shpendi for the assist, he’s a golden boy and he made himself available to the group,” Kargbo said in his post-match Interview.

“I’m happy with our perfomance.” Kargbo underlines the importance of the group: “We are a family – I found wonderful guys and I get along well with everyone.”

He added, “Roberto and I have established a good relationship. We were in the room together, and we talked about the match. I get along well with everyone.”

He was part of the Sierra Leone side that suffered a 2-1 defeat against Guinea-Bissau in the African Cup of Nations final Group A qualifier on Monday in Bissau.
