Third World Cup appearance for Senegal

The 2022 event will mark the third appearance of Senegal in the world cup. The African side has previously played in 2002 World Cup at Japan & South Korea and in 2018 World Cup Russia. While it was a shocking group stage exit in 2018, the 2002 squad had a stellar run which took them up to quater-finals. In this edition, Senegal are paired along with Netherlands, Qatar and Ecuador in Group A.

Senegal’s talismanic forward Sadio Mane will be key to their fortunes in this tournament. Edouard Mendy and skipper Kalidou Koulibaly will also bey the key figureheads to carry the team forward. Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye, Nottingham Forest midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate and Leicester City’s Nampalys Mendy are also a part of the Senegal squad. The reigning African champions have a well built squad with many players from the top 5 leagues of Europe.

Sadio Mane in the squad despite injury scare

Sadio Mane suffered with an injury while playing for Bayern against Werder Bremen. The German club confirmed Mane sustained an injury to the head of his right fibula. “We are monitoring the situation and we sent a doctor from the federation,” Senegal coach Aliou Cisse said at a press conference.

“On Thursday, Sadio spent the whole day in Munich before travelling to Austria for further tests. The good news is that he does not need an operation. It is important to continue to monitor his injury and hope that in two or three weeks there is a change. We will give everything to have Sadio back.”
