Mané and Koulibaly lead Senegal's World Cup squad
Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare is among the notable absentees from Senegal's 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup.
Liverpool forward Sadio Mané and Napoli defender Kalidou Koilibaly lead the 23-man squad named by Senegal coach Aliou Cissé for 2018 World Cup Russia. Mané was involved in both goals as Senegal booked their place at the finals with a 2-0 win against South Africa in November 2017.
Baldé and Mbodji included
Monaco winger Keita Baldé Diao and Anderlecht defender Kara Mbodji are among the players given a chance to prove their fitness ahead of travelling to Russia. But there is no place for Crystal Palace left-back Pape Souare, a former squad regular who has struggled for game-time since returning from injuries sustained in a car crash. Cissé called up 20-year-old Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr, who has scored five Ligue 1 goals this season, alongside his team mates Diafra Sakho and goalkeeper Abdoulaye Diallo.
Senegal have been drawn with Poland, Japan and Colombia in Group H.
