The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has announced that forward Iliman Ndiaye will miss the national team's upcoming friendly matches. The player has been withdrawn from the squad for the games scheduled against Peru and Gambia later this month.
The FSF released a statement confirming Ndiaye's unavailability. The exact reason for his withdrawal was not specified in the official communication from the federation.
This absence follows the earlier confirmed withdrawal of star forward Sadio ManΓ©, meaning Senegal will be without two key attacking options for their final preparations ahead of future competitive fixtures. The friendlies are part of the team's build-up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The matches are set to take place in France, with the game against Peru scheduled for March 22 in OrlΓ©ans and the fixture against Gambia on March 26 in Amiens.
