2022 World Cup qualifiers: Slavia Prague’s Dorley leads Liberia squad for Nigeria trip image

Hatayspor's Mohammed Kamara and Slavia Pague midfielder Oscar Dorley are among the 22 players invited by Liberia for their 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying games in September.

The West Africans will begin their Group C campaign with a trip to the Teslim Balogun Stadium to battle Nigeria on September 3 before hosting Central African Republic three days later.

Liberia are aiming to qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in their history after they advanced to the second round of the qualifiers with a 3-2 aggregate win over neighbours Sierra Leone.

Dorley is one of the notable stars in Peter Butler's selection after he helped Slavia Prague win the Czech Liga title in the last two seasons.

The 23-year-old midfielder has played seven matches in all competitions this term, including four league appearances.

Meanwhile, Hatayspor striker Kamara is among the five new players invited who could make their debut appearance for Liberia in Lagos.
