The training session included an intense warm-up, ball movement drills, and tactical simulations designed to enhance the team’s attacking and defensive transitions.
The squad also focused on set-piece situations, an area that could prove decisive in the upcoming fixtures.
Among those present was star forward Sadio Mané, whose leadership and experience are seen as crucial to Senegal’s qualification campaign.
The Bayern Munich forward was actively involved in drills, demonstrating his sharpness and determination.
Kalidou Koulibaly, the team’s defensive stalwart, also led by example, organizing the backline and providing guidance to younger players in the squad.
