Across State Lines: Kamara Banned Then Reinstated by Sierra Leone

It’s been an eventful week for Kei Kamara’s national team career with Sierra Leone. Late last week, Kamara was suspended by the Sierra Leone federation for disciplinary reasons. Kamara in the past has butted heads with his federation over pay and travel.
