Senegal have released a preliminary 25-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), with Sadio Mane the star of Cisse’s side.
The Liverpool attacker was the joint-top scorer in last season’s Premier League campaign with 22 goals.
He is expected to feature in his side’s Uefa Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
As reported by Football 365, Cisse’s inclusion of Bursaspor forward, Henri Saivet is the biggest shock of the list, given the forward hasn’t represented the Teranga Lions since a friendly against Bosnia & Herzegovina in March 2018.
