The Scorpions camp at Sea View has been boosted up with the arrival of goalkeeper Musa Bahaja, ahead of Gambia's next match in the combined qualifiers for the 2010 World and African Nations Cup finals against Algeria, on Saturday.

Belgian coach, Paul Put, had to settle for local keeper in Robert Badjie, after the Sweden-based goalie failed to turn up for the Scorpions first two matches against Liberia and Senegal.

Finland-based defender Paco Corr, who was serving a two-match suspension has also joined the camp together with three other players who were banned for the same number of matches.

Having watched their colleagues from the sideline during the past two matches, defender Lamin Conateh and strikers Assan Jatta and  Ousman Jallow will all be available for selection in tomorrow's must-win fixture at the Independence Stadium.

The Scorpions will, however, be without their rocky full-back, Pa Saikou Kujabi, who will be serving a one-match suspension after receiving his second yellow card in Scorpions 0-0 draw match against the Terenga Lions on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Algerian team have breezed into Banjul last evening, from Algiers, for Saturday's cracker which will be officiated by a Malian referee.

The Northerners, who arrived on board a special flight, are expected to fly back home shortly after the crunch fixture, to commence preparations for the return leg, six days later.

The Gambia currently lie third with two points in a group that is currently led by Senegal with four points. Algeria are second with three points, while Liberia , who will host Senegal on Sunday, lie at the bottom, with one point.
