Senegal also almost experienced a Mbappé case – International – Senegal

It just goes to show that Kylian Mbappé is truly an inspiring person.

When announcing its list for its matches against Malawi (October 11 and 15) for qualifying for the next CAN, Senegal could not include Ismail Jakobshe having been announced injured by his club Galatasaray. But this Monday, the Lions of Téranga published a press release indicating that the former Monegasque had finally joined the selection. The reason? The Istanbul team had the good idea to make him play the entire match against Alanyaspor this Sunday (1-0 victory).

The club’s doctors had nevertheless assured the federation (FSF) that « Jakobs was injured and unavailable with MRIs to support »as the FSF revealed on its social networks. After seeing the left-back frolic for 90 minutes, the federation has “immediately requested the release of the player so that he can honor his call-up to the national team”. The game has barely ended, the one who “was not involved in this situation” rushed to the airport to join his comrades. Abdou Aziz Ndiaye (18 years old), called to compensate for the absence of Jakobs, “will remain within the group” despite the return of his compatriot.

Jakobs would have stayed in Türkiye if Didier Deschamps was the coach.

Aliou Cissé is no longer the coach of Senegal
