{{Liberia’s anticipation to play at the Brazil 2014 World Cup will continue next month away to Uganda in search of another three-points.}} <\/p>\n
Liberia have begun earnest training ahead of the tie by beating Iraq 1-0 in a friendly match at al-Shaab Stadium in Baghdad on Monday afternoon as their preparations for the crunch tie continue to gather pace.<\/p>\n
The Lone Stars have been training at the ATS Stadium in Monrovia with selected locally-based players and present in camp is Turkey based midfielder Theo Lewis Weeks. <\/p>\n
The preparation is under the tutelage of coach Jericho Nagbe and his deputies Thomas Kolo and Joe Nagbe.<\/p>\n
According to Liberia Football Association, 23 locally-based stars were in attendance along with guest players Herron Berran from Cyprus, Alex Karmo of Vienna, BK Baward from India and Dweh Allison of Brazil.<\/p>\n
Twelve foreign-based players, including Omega Roberts, are expected to be in camp soon for the double header against Uganda away and home to Senegal.<\/p>\n
Liberia are in Group J with Senegal, Angola and Uganda. Lone Star are currently in the second position on the table behind Senegal with three matches in hand. <\/p>\n
A win in Uganda will boost the national team\u2019s chances of cruising through to the final stage of the qualifiers.<\/p>\n
The team will be without defenders Teah Dennis, who went missing in America and Solomon Grimes who sustained injury. <\/p>\n
It is, however, unclear if captain Anthony Laffor of Mamelodi Sundowns will feature due to reported case of injury.<\/p>\n
