Senegal coach Aliou Cissé has named his roster for the penultimate World Cup qualifying matchday against neighbours Cape Verde, with three new faces to appear with the Teranga Lions for the first time.

Goalkeeper Alfred Gomis of Italian side SPAL, Bordeaux defender Youssouf Sabaly and striker Mbaye Niang of Torino were handed their maiden call-up while West Ham’s Diafra Sakho and Adama Mbengue of French club Caen return to the team after an injury layoff.

In-form Younousse Sankhare of Bordeaux was surprisingly ignored.

Senegal are placed third in Group D with 5 points behind leaders Burkina Faso and Cape Verde, both on 6 points, while South Africa are first from bottom with 1 point.
