Mondial 2026 : les premiers choix forts de Pape Thiaw dévoilés
One month before the start of the World Cup (June 11 - July 19, 2026), the coach of Senegal's national A team, Pape Thiaw, has taken a decisive step by submitting an expanded list of 55 players to FIFA.
Among the names selected, AS highlights the presence of Malang Sarr. Having had an outstanding season with RC Lens, the defender has established himself as a strong alternative for the coaching staff. His call-up comes amid uncertainty surrounding captain Kalidou Koulibaly, who is in a race against time to recover from a persistent injury.
Beyond established players like Sadio Mané, Édouard Mendy, and Idrissa Gana Guèye, Pape Thiaw is banking on youth to inject new energy into the team. The biggest surprise on this roster is the inclusion of Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, the Bayern Munich prodigy. His vision and ability to break lines offer an additional tactical option to revitalize the Senegalese midfield.
The objective is clear, according to the same source: to double, or even triple, the number of players in every position before the start of the training camp scheduled for May 25. However, the hardest part is yet to come for the Senegalese coach, who will have to reduce the squad to 26 players by Thursday, May 21. As a reminder, Senegal is in Group C with France, Norway, and Iraq.
