Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Romain Saiss was left trapped in a hotel with his Morocco teammates amid an attempted coup in the capital of Guinea. The 31-year-old Wolves defender has detailed the whole experience he and his teammates went through.
Saiss was away on international duty as Morocco were due to take on Guinea in a World Cup qualifier on Monday. The match was eventually postponed by FIFA and its African counterpart CAF, after the attempted military coup took place in the West African nation. The team and the staff including Saiss were then escorted to the Moroccan embassy in Guinea and later escorted to the airport on Sunday. The Moroccan team has since returned to their homeland.
