Senegal's Gueye suspended by Fifa because of transfer dispute: set to miss rest of AFCON games
Pape Gueye, part of Senegal's squad at the Africa Cup of Nations, has been suspended by Fifa because of a transfer dispute, his coach Aliou Cisse said on Friday.
"There were problems between Watford and Marseille on a transfer. Fifa has suspended him," said Cisse.
On Friday, Senegal were again without three of their stars as Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly and Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy both tested positive for Covid-19 before their opening game.
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye tested positive after the fixture.
Senegal face Malawi on Tuesday in the last round of group games needing a draw to be sure of advancing to the round of 16.
Born in France, Gueye played for France at under-18 and under-19 level before opting to represent Senegal, where his parents are from, last October.
