Afcon 2019: They have Mahrez but we have Mane - Senegal Sports Minister Matar Ba

Senegal Sports Minister Matar Ba believes the Teranga Lions are not short of star players to match Algeria in their second Group C game at the 2019 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) on Thursday.

Aliou Cisse’s men opened their campaign in brilliant fashion, defeating Tanzania 2-0 without suspended star man, Sadio Mane. The Liverpool forward is expected to return against the Desert Foxes.

Algeria also won their first game, against Kenya with the same scoreline of 2-0, with Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez scoring one of the goals.
