ABIDJAN (Reuters) - Guinea midfielder Ilaix Moriba and striker Facinet Conte have been released from Africa Cup of Nations duty so that they can return to their European clubs to receive treatment on injuries, the country's football federation said on Tuesday.

Both players, along with Abdoulaye Toure, were absent from Guinea's 1-0 win over Equatorial Guinea on Sunday which secured them a quarter-final meeting with the Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday.
