No surprises for Senegal regarding Edouard Mendy. After suffering a knee injury against Norway, the Al-Ahli goalkeeper will miss the Round of 16 World Cup clash with Belgium this Wednesday at 20:00 GMT.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Pape Thiaw confirmed the situation, stating: "Edouard Mendy returned to his club so they could assess his injury. He will join us this evening. He is with the squad and will be with us for this match, even if he's not fit to play."

After previously missing the game against Iraq, Mory Diaw impressed with a clean sheet in the emphatic 5-0 victory.
