On Monday evening, Senegal head coach Patrick Vieira made a change to his squad as the Lions of Teranga began their training camp.

Senegal’s training camp began on Monday in Diamniadio. However, Patrick Vieira had to contend with another withdrawal. Krépin Diatta is unavailable due to injury. Having gone off injured this weekend in the Championship (the English second division), Diatta will miss both matches against Sudan on November 12 and 16, which count towards the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Arouna called up as reinforcement

Having been left out by the coach during the previous international break in September, the former AS Monaco player will have to wait to return to the national team. Arouna Sangante has been called up to replace him.

The 24-year-old centre-back can also play at right-back. Called up for the first time in September but not given a game, he may make his debut during this training camp.

He is the second addition to the Lions of Teranga squad after Massiré Sylla, who was called up to replace Mamadou Sarr, sidelined with a calf injury.
