Sadio Mane to miss England match after making 'personal request' to Senegal boss
England are due to host Senegal at the City Ground on Tuesday, but Sadio Mane will not be in action for the visitors after asking to be left out of Pape Thiaw's squad Former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane asked to be left out of Senegal's showpiece friendly against England after being targeted by critics and trolls over his recent performances for the African country. Mane, 33, the winger who thrilled Anfield for six years playing in tandem with Mo Salah, was gutted to be singled out for widespread stick after the two World Cup qualifiers against Sudan and Togo in March. His request to miss Friday night's clash against the Republic of Ireland and the meeting with England at the City Ground in Nottingham on Tuesday night 'for personal reasons' was reluctantly accepted by coach Pape Thiaw. Mane, who plays alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, already faces an uncertain future at club level after being told by the Saudi Pro League club that he is free to find new employers this summer. Senegal coach Thiaw said: 'It is a personal decision that belongs to Mane - and I respect it as a coach. Sadio is a very important player for us. 'But I don't coach one player, I coach 26 players, and so the most important thing is the collective. I have put together a squad of players who are available and ready to fight with pride for the national jersey.' Mane has scored 45 goals in 113 appearances for Senegal since making his international debut in 2012. He scored the winning penalty in the shoot-out win over Salah's Egypt in the African Cup of Nations final in 2021 after missing a spot-kick early in the game. Mane was named player of the tournament that year after scoring three times and also weighing in with two assists. But the two-time African Footballer of the Year now believes he is first in line to be criticised - despite becoming a national hero for his exploits on the pitch and his charity work off it. Senegal's squad includes Premier League stars like Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson, Ismaila Sarr of Crystal Palace, Tottenham's Pape Sarr and Idrissa Gana Gueye of Everton. But the spotlight continually falls on the player who excelled for Metz, Red Bull Salzburg, Southampton, Liverpool and Bayern Munich during 12 years in Europe. Senegal are currently second in the 2026 World Cup qualification table, a point behind DR Congo after being held to a goalless draw with Sudan before beating Togo 2-0. Mane said: 'A lot is said about me and I think I'm the most criticised player in Senegal. 'I don't have a problem with it. Everyone is free to give their opinion. But there must be better things to do than criticise Sadio Mane. What does it even get you?' Augustin Senghor, the president of the Senegalese Football Federation, said: 'Of course, it's a heartbreak because everyone knows what Sadio means to our team. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise, both for him and for us. 'We hope to have him back in top form for future matches, but this is a great opportunity for others to show themselves. The most important thing is that Sadio is there and ready for the big events to come.'

Stadium safety Crowd control during big matches in Kenya has been an area of concern in recent March fans forced their way into the Nyayo National Stadium during Kenya's 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Gabon by breaking a incident came during what was the Harambee Stars' first game on home soil in almost two admits that while such a lapse after a long absence of hosting international football is "understandable", it is "not acceptable".With the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) also set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, Caf is already taking measures to ensure security standards are met for CHAN."We've launched courses to train policemen, because the way that you manage security in the crowd in the stadium and outside the stadium are different," Mosengo-Omba added."So we train the police how to maintain safety security in stadium and we also train members of federation in order to improve the security."We will continue until the end of CHAN and Afcon." Infrastructure works Kenya will use two multi-purpose venues in Nairobi for CHAN; the 60,000-capacity Kasarani Stadium and the 22,000-seater Nyayo National to the country's local organising committee chief executive Mike Rabar, it is the latter that has concerned Caf the most."The biggest infrastructural set-backs so far are things like the perimeter wall in Nyayo, which should be ready by end of this month," Rabar told BBC Sport Africa."That is why Caf is not 100% giving us go ahead. There are small things."Entrances around the stadium have to be contained with turnstile infrastructure to make sure the traffic is managed in a way that flows in an organised manner."These are things that Caf is adamant about - safe security of the fans."Regarding the Kenya-Gabon game in March, where e-ticketing had been used and sales had ended a day before the game, Rabar said organisers "did well" in some elements."Of course there was infringement from weak infrastructure around the stadium," he added."Those are the spaces we want to focus on."Caf president Patrice Motsepe, who toured East Africa to check progress on CHAN preparations in December, will be expected to visit the region again trip will serve as a crucial deadline for the three host their part, Kenya's local organising committee is eager to be ready by the end of June."What is pending are small things like [computer] connectivity, power issues, communications," Rabar."Caf has set very high standards for us so we are trying to see how do we meet these standards and make sure that by the time we get to the first week of July we can host a game comfortably."Meanwhile, sports ministers from the three host nations have affirmed their commitment to hosting a successful tournament with a budget of $ for a 'Pamoja visa' to facilitate entry and movement are ongoing, and the three countries are also working on providing tax exemptions for equipment brought into their territories.
