There had been speculation that forward Iliman Ndiaye would start today’s game, but Senegal have opted to use the same frontline that played against the Netherlands in their opening match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 22-year old was playing Sunday League for Rising Ballers only four years ago, after deciding to leave Boreham Wood for the grassroots team that boasts three million followers across different social media platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He signed for the Blades in August 2019, and following a brief loan spell at Hyde United made his Premier League debut as a substitute in March 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ndiaye has impressed in the last two seasons in the championship, and boasts 11 goal contributions in 22 games this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He now faces a rather different test today however, by potentially making his World Cup debut in what will be his third cap for Senegal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good performance by the young attacker will only add to speculation around his contract at Sheffield United, which is set to expire in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
