El Hadji Diouf, the former player, is concerned about one of the key players of the Senegalese national team ahead of the upcoming match of the Lions of Teranga.
On June 6, 2024, the Senegalese national team will face the Democratic Republic of Congo at home.
This will be for the 3rd round of qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in three countries namely Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
Indeed, Senegal, the DRC, Togo, Mauritania, Sudan, and South Sudan all compete in Group B of the qualifiers for the next World Cup.
It is in this context that the Lions of Teranga will face the Congo Leopards on June 6, 2024, for the first-leg match between the two teams.
For this match, El Hadji Diouf is concerned about one of the key players of the Senegalese national team due to the strength exhibited by the opponents of the Lions of Teranga. “Édouard Mendy must be very careful with this Congolese selection because all Congolese players are capable of scoring goals, especially the defenders, and the most dangerous of them is Arthur Masuaku from Besiktas in Turkey.
We all saw his goal at the AFCON, but let me remind you that Édouard Mendy knows Arthur Masuaku well.
The last time they crossed paths, the Congolese almost sent Mendy into retirement with his famous goal against Chelsea at the time,” explained the former Liverpool player.
The former Rennes player is therefore warned and should be extra vigilant during the match to avoid conceding surprising goals.
