Bad news for Senegal, who may have to say goodbye to Edouard Mendy. The 34-year-old goalkeeper had to leave the field in the 63rd minute of Friday's match against Norway due to an injury. Mendy sustained an injury while on the field and it was later revealed that he had damaged his knee ligaments. This fact was confirmed by another player of Senegal, Kalido Coulibaly. As a result, Mendy is not able to play in the match against Iraq next Friday and if necessary in the subsequent matches. Mori Diao will stand in the goal post instead.
