At the end of a long series, left back Ismail Jakobs finally left the Senegal selection gathering.
First of all announced forfeit and replaced for this gathering then finally called back after playing in club with Galatasaray, which caused a big controversy, Jakobs was the starter on Friday against Malawi (4-0) on the occasion of the 3rd day of the CAN 2025 qualifiers. If the ex-Monegasque held his place for 90 minutes, he will not be there on Tuesday for the return match.
Jakobs released “in the interest of the player”
This Saturday, the Federation Senegalese de football (FSF) has in fact announced that it has released, “in the interest of player Ismail Jakobs, the latter this Friday evening after his match against Malawi, so that he can have a non-surgical treatment of his knee which requires a rest period of several days.”
A form of compromise undoubtedly with Galatasaray and the player, which allows each party to find their account in a certain way. Abdou Diallo and El Hadji Malick Diouf will be in the balance to replace him with the young Abdoul Aziz Ndiaye (18 years old), initially called to replace Jakobs.
