Pathé Ciss snubbed? Vieira responds and promises a possible return

Pathé Ciss, in good form with Rayo Vallecano, was not called up for the CAN 2027 qualifiers, prompting reactions on social media. Senegal's coach, Patrick Vieira, defended his decision by explaining that selection involves choices and he would not detail each omission. He also left the door open for Ciss to return in a future gathering, while maintaining a positive view of Sadio Mané, who could return if his physical condition allows.
