Hearts of Oak’s CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg tie with Guinean side Cl Kamsar is in danger.
The Phobians are billed to play Kamsar at the General Lansana Conté Stadium on Sunday, September 12, 2021 in Conakry with the return leg scheduled for September 19 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
There are reports that different military factions are fighting each other in Guinea now with CAF considering the safety of players and officials due to unrest.
According to Reuters, Soldiers who staged an uprising in Guinea's capital on Sunday said on state television that they had dissolved the West African nation's government and constitution and closed all land and air borders.
However, the defence ministry said an attack on the presidential palace in Conakry had been repelled.
Fighting broke out near the palace on Sunday morning, with several sources saying an elite national army unit led by a former French legionnaire, Mamady Doumbouya, was behind the unrest.

Videos shared on social media on Sunday afternoon, which Reuters could not immediately authenticate, showed President Alpha Conde in a room surrounded by army special forces.
Conde, whose whereabouts were not immediately clear, won a third term in October after changing the constitution to allow him to stand again, despite violent protests from the opposition, raising concerns of further political upheavals in a region that has seen coups in Mali and Chad in recent months.
Doumbouya appeared on state television draped in Guinea's national flag and surrounded by eight other armed soldiers, saying his supporters planned to form a transitional government and would give further details later.
"We have dissolved government and institutions," Doumbouya said. "We call our brothers in arms to join the people."
As the defence ministry said security forces loyal to Conde had repulsed the attack and were restoring order, people emerged onto the streets during the afternoon to celebrate the uprising's apparent success.
