Real Betis’ Youssouf Sabaly has made a triumphant return to collective training with his club after a prolonged absence from the field. The Senegalese right-back, who has been sidelined since September, rejoined his teammates on Thursday, December 28, providing a glimmer of positivity for both Sabaly and Real Betis.
The resumption of collective training for Sabaly comes just a day before national coach Aliou Cissé is set to unveil the list of players selected for the upcoming AFCON 2023 in Ivory Coast. With this timely return to action, the Senegalese international positions himself as a potential inclusion in the roster for the continental tournament.
This development holds added significance as Sabaly missed out on the 2022 African Cup of Nations due to injury.
If included in Aliou Cissé’s list on Friday, it would mark Sabaly’s second appearance in the prestigious competition, adding to the depth of talent in the Senegal national team.
The return to training not only signals Sabaly’s personal recovery but also serves as a positive sign for Real Betis, bolstering their defensive options.
As the countdown to AFCON 2023 intensifies, Sabaly’s resurgence adds an encouraging narrative to Senegal’s campaign, offering the team additional experience and skill on the defensive flank.
As fans eagerly await the official announcement of the AFCON 2023 squad, Youssouf Sabaly’s successful return to collective training underscores the unpredictable yet resilient nature of football, setting the stage for potential success both at the club and national levels.
