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.
