While there were only 16 players at training on Monday, Pape Thiaw and Teddy Pellerin were able to count on an almost complete group this Tuesday to continue their work three days before the reception in Malawi.
There was (almost) no one missing. This Tuesday afternoon, the Senegal National Team met for a second training session since the start of the rally in Diamniadio. After having to deal with a reduced group and only sixteen players on Monday, as itOften the case following match weekends, Pape Thiaw and his partner Teddy Pellerin had to do without the services of eleven players.
Seck and Sima towards a package
For this second day and 72 hours before the qualifying match for CAN 2025 against Malawi at the Abdoulaye-Wade Stadium, the interim staff of the Lions was also not able to count on a completely complete group. Indeed, Abdoulaye Seck and Abdallah Sima were missing. Injured in the hamstrings since the last regrouping of the selection, the Maccabi Haifa defender had, of course, returned to the group with his club Bnei Sakhin on Saturday, but was unable to take part in the meeting and remained on the bench. replacements.
The former Stade de Mbour player will hardly be able to claim a place against Malawi on Friday. For his part, the Stade Brestois striker “felt a little pain the day before the match (against Le Havre)” Sunday, as his coach Eri announcedc Roy. He joined La Lair to check on his injury, but it is very unlikely that he will be available to challenge the Malawians. It would undoubtedly be a disappointment for Sima, who is having a good start to the season with Brest, particularly in the Champions League.
Five players did not finish a training session concluded with a penalty shootout
Once is not usual: today’s session took place in a good atmosphere. After the speech of the coaches, mainly Pape Thiaw, in the central circle of the annex field, the players carried out a short warm-up, technical exercises with the ball and then had the opportunity toand compete in small groups. Oppositions which give very little information for the next matches. The former coach of the local Lions was still in discussion quite often with a group made up of Sadio Mané, Habib Diarra, Nicolas Jackson, Ismaila Sarr, El Hadji Malick Diouf, Pape Gueye, Idrissa Gueye and Formose Mendy.
Kalidou Koulibaly’s partners ended their session with penalties. The first player to try his luck, Idrissa Gueye missed the target against Mory Diaw. This was not the case for Pape Gueye who beat Cheikh Lo Ndoye. Just like Abdou Diallo, Chérif Ndiaye who have caught Diaw on the wrong foot. Seydou’s attempt will not go down in history… The neo-Lion Abdoul Aziz Ndiaye dared with his right foot and succeeded in front of Diaw. While Boulaye Dia, Moussa Niakhaté, Nicolas Jackson, Habib Diarra and Ismail Jakobs shortened their session. The Lions staff did not give any explanations but there is no need to worry too much about these five players.
