Serigne Saliou Dia, the coach of the Senegal national team under the age of twenty, recorded two major reinforcements, a few weeks before the African Cup of Nations.
Senegal, reigning champion, will defend its crown in Moroccan land in a few days. As this competition approaches, the coach of the lion cubs called on two reinforcements to strengthen his team. Two players, who know the den well, after having evolved with the U17s. They are Mamadou Gningue and Clayton Diandy.
Mamadou Gningue
Mamadou Gningue, the Aris FC midfielder, will be in the Senegal group for the CAN U20. African champion in 2023 with the U17s, the 18 -year -old also participated in the U17 World Cup the same year. A major reinforcement for Serigne Saliou Dia, who will be able to count on an experienced and very solid player in the midfield.
Clayton Diandy
Clayton Diandy, who has also evolved under the orders of Serigne Saliou Dia, with the U17, will also be in the U20 group. The Aris Salonic player in Greece is an explosive left winger, with an impressive speed. Its percussion and its ability to make differences in one against one constitute major assets for the Senegalese attack, which will seek to keep its continental title.
As a reminder, Senegal is housed in group C, after the second draw, made by CAF, this Sunday. The lion cubs share group C with Ghana, DR Congo and the Central African Republic.
