Andy Diouf, Habib Diarra and Sofiane Diop are all players Aliou Cisse has approached, the first 2 chose France U21 and Diop recently joined the Moroccan setup instead.

Historically the Maghrebi teams have always been more proactive when it comes to recruiting dual nationals as well. However Senegal do have younger players from their victorious U20, U17 and local national team that could make the step up to the seniors in the future, it depends on how they pan out.

No changes from Aliou Cisse apart from Lorient right back Formose Mendy returning from injury. Senegal and their opponents will compete in Group B alongside DR Congo, Sudan and Mauritania.

Injuries rule out the likes of Wilfried Ndidi, Samuel Chukwueze, and Victor Osimhen, with Nathan Tella receiving his first callup to replace the AC Milan winger. The English born winger, now at Leverkusen has never played for England at youth level and repeatedly stated his desire to play for Nigeria, he recently received his Nigerian passport. Nigeria and their two opponents are joined by South Africa, Benin, and Rwanda in Group C.

2 changes from the squad in October with Hassane Kamara and Jeremie Boga replacing the underwhelming Abakar Sylla and Wilfried Zaha. The Seychelles match will provide a final test for the planned venue of the 2023 AFCON final, the Stade Alassane Ouattara d’Ebimpé, in Abidjan. Gabon, Burundi, and Kenya complete Group F of CAF World Cup Qualifying.

Captain Andre ‘Dede’ Ayew, still without a club, has been recalled as the squad apparently lacks leadership without him. Injuries to Tariq Lamptey, Alexander Djiku, Mohammed Salisu and Thomas Partey allow for the places of Denis Odoi, Kasim Nuhu, Abdul Mumin and Baba Iddrisu. Kamaldeen Sulemana returns from his injury struggles, taking the place of Ransford Yeboah. Joseph Wollacott also returns from injury, replacing Abdul Manaf Nurudeen.

According to several reports by reliable sources in Ghana, the future of Chris Hughton will be decided on Friday. The government which funds the FA is lobbying for him to be maintained, but many of the executives of the federation want him gone. If sacked, George Boateng will take over in an interim capacity.

This might be a friendly but this is the most disgraceful game of football that I have ever seen. So called professional players sitting on the ball and they are using government money to travel to come to America and disgrace themselves.

2014 we lost but we went toe to toe. 2010 I still remember how we won and ofc 2006. 2018 we both fail to qualify for the World Cup.

Since then they have revamped their program, what have we done? Complete and utter incompetence! Making up tournament budgets to siphon money. Asking players for bribe to play for youth national teams. Hiring a coach who was sacked by Thailand just bc he did well in 2010, now you can influence him with your agency callups. The whole country, only one approved international stadium that is barely proper.

The Ghanaian football association is a disgrace and if we had serious politicians they would make sure it is dissolved! Using government funds to fly to America to sit on the balls on the pitch, to play like a high school team. For the Americans to pity you as you take your payout for organizing the friendly.

2009 u20 we beat Brazil. I still remember 2010, destroying Egypt in 2013. 2014 was a failure but we went toe to toe with Germany. 2015 we have everything. Stephen Appiah, sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Christian Atsu (rip), Kwadwo Asamoah, Dede Ayew.

We left Ghana when I was young but these were my heros. How I fell in love with football, it was because of Ghana. And if I fall out of love with football, it will be because of Ghana and the disgraceful, village way that we run football just like we run our country. So much potential wasted.

They should score us 9-0. Every 10 minutes one goal. Embarrassing players.
