Senegal: Ismaïla Sarr risks missing the CAN

Author of an impressive start to the season with already 8 goals in all competitions with Crystal Palace, the 27-year-old winger sees his chances of playing in CAN 2025 with Senegal diminishing… Indeed, his current coach, Oliver Glasner, revealed an ankle ligament injury at a press conference this Wednesday. A huge blow, both for Senegal and for the Premier League residents.

“The ligaments are not completely torn, but there are problems, and the ankle is very swollen. The CAN may be missing”said the Crystal Palace coach. Despite the strong competition with Ibrahim Mbaye, Iliman Ndiaye, Sadio Mané and Nicolas Jackson in attack, if the former Marseille player were to withdraw from the competition, it would be very bad news for the Lions of Teranga.
