Head coach for Senegal, Aliou Cissé has named injured Sadio Mané in his final 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup. This means the one-time AFCON winners will rely on the Bayern Munich star despite his injury.
The 46-year-old gaffer settled on three goalkeepers, seven defenders, nine midfielders and seven attackers for the world’s biggest tournament.
The Terranga Lions squad is full of talent, as they reached the last eight in the 2002 World Cup. Chelsea duo Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibal, and Iddrissa Gana Gueye of Everton have all booked place in Aliou Cissé’s squad.
Having won the Africa Cup of Nations this year, the Terranga Lions hope to reach the highest level in Qatar.
Senegal has been drawn in Group A where they will play against the Netherlands, hosts Qatar and Ecuador.
