Edouard Mendy sustained a left knee injury during Senegal’s recent match against Norway, leaving the team without its first‑choice goalkeeper for the upcoming fixture.
The 34‑year‑old was substituted in the 63rd minute of the 3‑2 defeat, with Mory Diaw stepping in to guard the net.
Initial medical checks carried out by the national team’s staff confirmed a knee injury, prompting a more detailed examination to determine its severity and impact on Mendy’s availability.
As a result, Mendy will not be able to participate in Senegal’s next match, and the federation is monitoring his condition closely.
Officials expressed their hope for a swift recovery and looked forward to seeing the goalkeeper return to the pitch soon.
