Diafra Sakho’s exceptional performance in the French Ligue 2 season with FC Metz has caught the attention of Senegal’s national team coach, Alain Giresse. Sakho, who was crowned the best player in Ligue 2 and scored an impressive 20 goals for Metz, is set to be included in the squad for Senegal’s upcoming friendly matches.
Senegal is scheduled to play Burkina Faso on May 21 in Ouaga and Kosovo on May 25 in Geneva. Sakho’s selection comes at a critical time for the team, as they are facing challenges in their offensive lineup due to injuries to key players Mame Biram Diouf and Papiss Cissé.
With Sakho’s rising profile and increasing interest from top European clubs, Giresse has deemed him indispensable for the Senegal national team. This call-up reflects the recognition of Sakho’s talent and potential to contribute significantly to the team’s success.
Sakho’s inclusion in the squad also comes amidst interest from other national teams, including Togo, Guinea Bissau, and Mali, highlighting his growing reputation and the competition for his services.
