As preparations for the upcoming CAN 2023 tournament intensify, the Senegal national team has been hit with two major setbacks. Striker Boulaye Dia and goalkeeper Seny Dieng will not be part of the squad due to their unfortunate injuries. This news was confirmed by coach Aliou Cissé after the team’s recent victory against Niger on January 8th (1-0). Supporters had been eagerly waiting for updates on the players’ conditions, but it is now official that they will not be able to travel to Ivory Coast for the tournament.
In their absence, talented replacements have been named. Goalkeeper Alfred Gomis will step in for Seny Dieng, while forward Bamba Dieng will take the place of Boulaye Dia. Both Gomis and Dieng have proven themselves with their impressive performances in their respective clubs, and the national team will rely on their skills and determination to excel in the competition.
