Package from Mamadou Sarr: Massiré Sylla, a great promise called in as reinforcement

The Lions infirmary is filling up more and more. Mamadou Sarr, injured in the calf, is already out of the two matches against Sudan. Krépin Diatta, affected with Watford, is not certain of being available.

One more defection for the Senegal national team, which is preparing to play two important matches against Sudan, as part of the CAN 2027 qualifiers (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania). Summoned by Patrick Vieira, Mamadou Sarr was injured during his club’s match, Real Sociedad, against Lyon (1-1) in the Europa League. In severe pain, he remained in the locker room at half-time. According to the Spanish club’s press release, the African champion is suffering from a calf injury. Bad news for the former Strasbourg player who, since his loan from Chelsea, has established himself as a starter and has had a string of good performances with Real Sociedad.

To replace him, Patrick Vieira called on Massiré Sylla. The Union Saint-Gilloise player is also having a very good start to the season. Trained in Diambars, he will discover the Lair for the first time in his career.
Krépin Diatta raises concerns. The defender, who had just returned to competition and the national team after signing for Watford, in the English second division, suffered a hard blow this weekend. Saturday, against Middlesbrough, the former Monaco player, affected in the 11th minute, had to give up his place before the quarter of an hour of play. The planned examinations will reveal the extent of his injury and whether he will be able to take part in the double confrontation with Sudan. In the event of the absence of Krépin Diatta, Patrick Vieira could also call on another player.
