Hide AdNewcastle United under-23 player Mohammed Sangare has withdrawn from Liberia's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against DR Congo on Sunday.
"Sangare has a valid Liberian passport, but if he travels to Monrovia without his (residence) permit, getting back will give him problem," said Liberia manager Sebastian Collins.
"We thought it would be in the best interest of all parties that he secures his document before coming to Monrovia.

Sangare, scouted while playing for a team in Stockport, was born in Liberia, but moved to England aged 14.
