Moussa Wague set for first AFCON with Senegal

Barcelona B right-back Moussa Wague is part of the Senegal squad who open their 2019 African Cup of Nations campaign on Sunday against Tanzania.

The is the first AFCON tournament for the 20-year-old, although he is absolutely no stranger to the big stage. He featured at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and made history when he scored against Japan.

Wague has featured for the Barcelona first team this season and there is some speculation floating around he could be promoted to the senior squad soon, particularly after the club brought in Mike van Beijnen.
