Senegal Faces Major Blow as Edouard Mendy Ruled Out Against Mauritania
Senegal will be without their first-choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for tonight's crucial World Cup qualifier against Mauritania.
The match, taking place at the Abdoulaye Wade Stadium in Diamniadio, is pivotal as it marks the final group stage game in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Mendy, who currently plays for Al Ahli Jeddah, suffered a chest injury during Senegal’s emphatic 5-0 victory over South Sudan last week.
The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) confirmed his absence in an official statement released earlier today.
Despite being ruled out for this match, Mendy will remain with the squad to continue his recovery.
This match holds immense significance for Senegal, who are on the brink of securing their place in the World Cup.
Author summary: Senegal faces setback with Mendy's injury.
