Mozambique vs Senegal: Starting XI for the Lions in Patrick Vieira's debut

Senegal begins its qualification campaign for CAN 2027 against Mozambique in Maputo, with Patrick Vieira as the new coach. He keeps the 4-3-3 system despite missing several key players, trusting Yehvann Diouf in goal, Moussa Niakhaté and Sadibou Sané in defense, and a young attacking trio of Assane Diao, Nicolas Jackson, and Abdallah Sima. The lineup aims to provide stability and coherence amid coaching changes.
