AFCON 2019: Senegal head coach Aliou Cisse names formidable 25-man squad

Senegal head coach Aliou Cisse has retained the core of his 2018 FIFA World Cup squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Cisse, who will be overseeing his third major tournament in charge of Senegal has showed faith in the squad that became the first side to be eliminated from a World Cup by virtue of a tie-breaker.

Despite not winning the AFCON before, the Lions of Teranga are cited as favourites to win the title due to their incredible strength in attack this time around.

With the likes of captain Sadio Mane, Moussa Konaté,  Keita Balde, Mbaye Niang, Ismaila Sarr and Galatasaray ace Mbaye Diagne.

Daigne, 27, scored 30 Super Lig goals in 29 games in the 2018/19 season and his inclusion shunted out two former Premier League strikers.
