INFO:

Are you sure that I actually moved Sané in the 23-men squad? I don't think I would've moved him back to reserves so I probably forgot to put him in the main squad in the first place when you suggested that. Who should I take out? About Sené, I'll replace Fall with him. About Camara, I know the performances with the national team are more important to make the squad but shouldn't the first XI be formed by the best players from the squad? I mean, are we sure Camara was that better than Bocande or better than Mané actually is? If the answer is yes, then I'll put him back in the formation. Maybe he was better than Diouf.

Edouard Mendy with the victory and the saves in this Africa Cup, goes right between the two goalkeepers together with Silva. what do you think?

I'm not sure. Cheikh Seck is regarded as one of the greatest ever Senegalese goalkeepers.
I'd wait for Édouard Mendy in the first team but he surely deserves at least a place in the reserves.

I'd also add Mendy in first team here. Apart from his individual class he has been a cornerstone in two Africa Cups now, ending as runner-up and winner. I would have rather waited before adding Diallo who isn't even a Senegalese international for a year now (was excellent as well in that Africa cup but if we go after this, then Bouna Sarr could claim a spot here now as well).
Btw, any reason why you didn't link my set for Mané and Milos' set for Camara but all those sets by artemds (that all seem to be Konami stats with some random boosts) instead?

I replaced Seck with Mendy. I also added Bouna Sarr. I guess I simply forgot to link Mané and Camara. Yeah, all those Senegalese players surely need an update.

I don't think Bouna Sarr deserves to be here. I would replace him with Sabaly.

Boubacar Sarr should probably be on reserves. Although he only played two official matches for the NT (both at AFCON 1986), his French Wiki page states he was capped 40 times.

Sabaly replacing Bouna Sarr is fair. Boubacarr Sarr though shouldn't be here. The info about his 40 caps is likely false. I use data from RSSSF for the international caps and there's no mention of Sarr.
