Italy-based teenager Assane Diao has received his debut call-up to the senior national team of Senegal.
The Teranga Lions will return to action this month to continue with the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
They will take on Sudan and Togo in two important games in Group B.
According to Como manager Cesc Fàbregas, Assane Diao has been called up to play for Senegal in the upcoming games.
Speaking ahead of Como’s Italian Serie A match against Venezia, Fàbregas revealed that Assane Diao is also included in the pre-list of Spain for their upcoming international matches.
“Assane Diao has been called up by Senegal, but he is also on the pre-list for Spain. He has to make a choice. I spoke with him; it is also my job to make him understand that he must not forget what brought him to this level,” the Como manager said.
Assane Diao has been a revelation for Como this season in the Italian Serie A. The teenager has scored five goals for Como after making nine appearances in the ongoing campaign.
