Senegal will be without Mané for two qualifiers.

Senegal’s November squad has a notable gap: captain Sadio Mané will miss both 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Sudan, scheduled for November 12 and 16. Coach Patrick Vieira said Mané is expecting a child. Kooora, citing Senegalese reports, says Mané wants to be beside his wife for the birth, and that Vieira’s staff understood and allowed him to remain in Riyadh. Senegal will face both Sudan games without its captain, for a reason Vieira described as a happy event.
