Senegal

• The Sengegalese come off a win against Kenya, and a convincing one at that with Sadio Mane brushing aside criticism and coming good by scoring two goals. The good performance may prompt the manager Cisse to keep the same 11 as the one that played against Kenya.
• Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is reeling from injury and therefore it is more than likely that Alfred Gomis will start in goal.
• Also suffering from injury is defender Salif Sane, which will impact the back 4 of the Senegal team who are expected to play Gassama and Ciss as their full backs with Wague and Balde to begin on the bench.
