With Seny on the bench.
(Stupidly, I've only just realised I can get BBC3 on my TV - I had to retune it, which seems to happen quite often with Freeview.)
Anyway, maybe Mendy will knock himself out on the post and Seny will come on and be the hero for Senegal. |  | | |  |

Probably not helped by France (and other countries) hoovering up some of the most talented players from Africa.
I seem to remember reading that 15 players from the 2018 World Cup winning France squad would have qualified to play for an African country. |
When Senegal beat France in 2002, all of the Senegal team played in France, and none of the French team. |  | | |

Yes, France grants French citizenship and passport rights to citizens of its overseas colonies. As does the Netherlands with Dutch Indonesia, Curacao, Suriname - luminaries such as Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, and our own Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Not a bad policy, when it comes to picking the best footballing talent.
