Senegal coach Pape Thiaw dropped defenders Moustapha Mbow and Ilay Camara from his preliminary squad to finalise his 26-man line-up for the World Cup by FIFA’s deadline on Monday.
Paris FC centre-half Mbow and Belgian-born Anderlecht fullback Camara, who has won three caps, were named in Thiaw’s 28-man wider squad on May 21.
Mbow won his first cap when he played the second half off the bench in the 3-2 friendly loss to the United States in Charlotte on Sunday, while Camara was an unused substitute.
Sadio Mane, who scored both of Senegal’s goals against the U.S., remains a leading player for a star-studded Senegal squad that looks to be the most potent of the 10 African qualifiers for the World Cup.
Senegal opens its World Cup campaign against France on June 16 in New Jersey in a repeat of its 2002 World Cup meeting in which the African side came out on top against the then-holder.
It also takes on Norway at the same venue (June 22) and Iraq in Toronto (June 26) in Group I matches.
Senegal squad for FIFA World Cup 2026:
Goalkeepers: Edouard Mendy, Mory Diaw, Yehvann Diouf
Defenders: Krepin Diatta, Antoine Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly, El Hadji Malick Diouf, Mamadou Sarr, Moussa Niakhate, Abdoulaye Seck, Ismail Jakobs
Midfielders: Idrissa Gana Gueye, Pape Gueye, Lamine Camara, Habib Diarra, Pathe Ciss, Pape Matar Sarr, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye
Forwards: Sadio Mane, Ismaila Sarr, Iliman Ndiaye, Assane Diao, Ibrahim Mbaye, Nicolas Jackson, Bamba Dieng, Cherif Ndiaye

Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk has approached the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to appeal against a four-year doping ban handed to him by England’s Football Association (FA), British media reported on Wednesday.
The Ukrainian was charged with anti-doping rule violations in June last year after a sample taken in 2024 produced an adverse finding for a prohibited substance, reported to be meldonium. Mudryk had said that the adverse finding came as a “complete shock” as he had never knowingly used a banned substance.
Having joined Chelsea in January 2023 for an initial fee of €70 million ($81.83 million), Mudryk was provisionally suspended in December 2024 and the 25-year-old has not played since.
“CAS confirms it has received an appeal by Mykhailo Mudryk against the FA, filed on 25 February 2026,” it said in a statement to the BBC and the Times.
“The parties are currently exchanging written submissions, and a hearing is yet to be scheduled.”
The FA said it could not comment because the case is ongoing. Reuters has contacted CAS for comment.
Meldonium is the same substance Maria Sharapova tested positive for, with the Russian tennis player initially being banned by the International Tennis Federation for two years before an appeal led to her suspension being reduced to 15 months.

Toronto has reversed its plan to charge fans to attend its World Cup fan festival, with the city council approving a revised model that includes a free general admission option after some councillors objected that the proposed $10 fee broke an earlier promise.
City staff had proposed a plan last week to introduce $10 general admission tickets for the event. The festival, which is set to include live match broadcasts, food and entertainment, was originally promoted by the city last year as a “free and inclusive space” for fans to enjoy games during the June 11 to July 19 World Cup.
However, after objections from some councillors, who raised concerns about affordability for residents, Toronto mayor Olivia Chow asked staff this week to revisit the ticketing proposal.
City staff issued a report on Wednesday proposing that, of the 20,000 general admission tickets available each day, 15,600 will be free and 500 will be reserved for community groups at no cost. There will also be 3,900 premium tickets available daily, priced between $100 and $ 300.

In the original report last week, staff said the ticketing plan was required as a crowd-control measure and to help cover costs related to an “enhanced fan experience”.
“Fan Fest should be free for general admission,” Chow told reporters this week before council voted 18-3 to approve the revised plan. “We can offer VIP packages for those who want them, but the gates should be open for everyone.”
Toronto, one of 16 cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico hosting matches for the 48-team World Cup, will stage six games.
