Squad News
Coach Aliou Cisse is yet to announce his preliminary squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup but the selection is expected to be packed with stars from top leagues such as the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, German Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

Cisse has until Monday, November 14 to select his final 26-man roster for Qatar.

But forward Keita Balde could miss his country’s 2022 World Cup campaign after he was suspended from playing football until December 5.

Balde’s 90-day football ban came after he violated protocols regarding anti-doping tests, an incident which occurred in April.
