Wafu Cup: Benin hit with double injury blow ahead of Senegal showdown

Benin will be without two key players when they take to the field for Thursday’s Wafu Cup quarter-final showdown with hosts Senegal in Thies.

The Squirrels will be without midfielder Fadil Salim Bawa and striker Saliou Idrissou after the duo picked up injuries in Tuesday’s 2-1 First Round victory over Guinea.

According to team officials, Bawa broke his fibula during the meeting with the Syli Nationale, and was treated in hospital during that opening match.
