Afcon: Senegal depart for Egypt with Sadio Mane

Senegal have departed their Spanish-based training ground at Pinatar Arena Center for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt along with their long-awaited star forward Sadio Mane on Friday.

The biennial tournament will kick off on June 21, while the Terenga Lions open their campaign in the competition against Tanzania on June 23.

After helping Liverpool to win the Uefa Champions League title, Mane only teamed up with the rest of the squad on Thursday and received a guard of honour from his teammates.
