Senegal is set to face Mali on March 5 during the FIFA Day, aiming to regain momentum following their elimination against Ivory Coast. However, coach Alain Giresse will face challenges as Moussa Sow, a key player for Senegal, will be unavailable for the upcoming match.
Sow, who currently plays for Fenerbahçe, is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks due to an injury, as revealed by Turkish media following an MRI examination. Despite this setback, Sow has been instrumental for Senegal, having scored 9 goals in 20 appearances.
His impressive performances have also attracted interest from European clubs, with Zenit Saint Petersburg reportedly making a bid of 17 million euros to secure his services. However, Fenerbahçe has rejected the offer, indicating their reluctance to part ways with their prolific attacker.
