Wafu Cup: Senegal introduce four new players ahead of Benin bout

Wafu Cup of Nations hosts Senegal are introducing four new faces into their squad for Thursday’s quarter-final clash with Benin.

The Teranga Lions progressed to the final eight of the cup competition after dispatching Guinea-Bissau in the tournament opener on Saturday, and they’ll now meet a Benin side who impressed against Guinea on Tuesday but required a late winner from Jerome Bonou to advance.

The hosts are set to welcome a quartet of Generation Foot players into the fold for Thursday’s game following the Senegalese champions’ troubled trip to Egypt to play SC Zamalek in the Caf Champions League this weekend.
