Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has taken a gamble, naming three injured players in the nations squad for the Africa Cup of Nations AFCON.
The 44-year-old coach has called up the injured Assane Diao, Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr.
Diao suffered a thigh injury playing for Como in the Serie A last weekend, Diarra has not played for Sunderland since undergoing groin surgery in September, and Sarr has not featured in Crystal Palaces last three games due to ankle ligament damage suffered in the Eagles loss to Manchester United.
