Gambian football followers will storm viewing centers and video club or stay glowed to the radio sets on Saturday, August 8, 2015 to watch or listen to BBC live commentary as Chelsea play Swansea in the opening day of the English premier league. This is because there is a Gambian interest in that game.
Gambian international, Modou Barrow might likely to appear for Swansea against champions Chelsea tomorrow. The young man played well against Arsenal and Manchester City last season thus leaving many Gambians hoping that Swansea will give him more playing time this season.
But if reports emanating from Sports Mail, an online daily paper in Britain are anything to go by, Modou Barrow might not make the cut against Chelsea.
