**Senegal’s Mame Biram Diouf Withdraws from Algeria Friendly Due to Family Tragedy**
Senegal will face Algeria in a friendly on October 13 without striker Mame Biram Diouf. The Stoke City forward withdrew due to personal reasons after mourning the death of his mother, who tragically died in the recent Mecca stampede that claimed nearly 1,000 lives.
Stoke City expressed condolences and pledged full support to Diouf during this difficult time. Senegal coach Aliou Cissé has excused the player from the upcoming match against Algeria.
