Malang Sarr tipped to be included in Pape Thiaw’s squad for the 2026 World Cup

The Teranga Lions manager is set to reveal this 21 May the names of the players who will take part in the US tour.

Malang Sarr is expected to receive his first call-up to the Senegal national team. Rumours had already circulated last March regarding his inclusion in Pape Thiaw’s squad during the international break. But in the end, he was not selected.

However, the Lens defender could feature this time on the list of players to be named by Pape Thiaw this Thursday. According to Dsports, Malang Sarr is among the players selected for the World Cup scheduled for this summer in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Born in France, the 27-year-old defender has played for the French youth teams.

Unlike Malang Sarr, Nobel Mendy has little chance of being called up by Pape Thiaw.
