AFCON 2027 qualifiers: Patrick Vieira calls up Arouna Sangante for Senegal’s double-header against Sudan

Senegal will have to cope with several absences for their matches on matchdays three and four of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Following the call-up of Massiré Sylla to replace the injured Mamadou Sarr, the Teranga Lions’ manager has called upon a further reinforcement for his squad. This is Arouna Sangante, whose call-up to the Senegal national team was confirmed by his club, Sevilla FC, on Monday 9 November.

The centre-back will take part in the double-header against Sudan, scheduled for 12 and 16 November, as part of the third and fourth matchdays of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Arouna Sangante has been called up to cover for the absence of Krépin Diatta.

The midfielder was forced to withdraw following an injury sustained last weekend. Krépin Diatta was forced off after 14 minutes of Watford’s Championship game against Middlesbrough on Saturday 7 November.
