Afcon 2019: ‘I am fit to play against Benin’ – Senegal’s Salif Sane

Senegal defender Salif Sane said he is fully fit to play against Benin in their quarter-final game at the Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday.

The Schalke 04 man suffered an ankle injury in his side’s opening game against Tanzania, where they defeated the Taifa Stars 2-0.

Sane has since been sidelined, missing the Teranga Lions’ last three games against Algeria, Kenya and Uganda.

Having returned from the injury, the defender has made himself available for selection against Michel Dussuyer’s men.

"I'm coming back from injury now I'm fit to play but the coach will make his choices.
