Yehvann Diouf and Mory Diaw, new contenders for the number 1 spot in the Tanière

The international retirement of Édouard Mendy opens a new chapter for the Senegal national team, with Yehvann Diouf and Mory Diaw as the main candidates for the starting goalkeeper position. Diouf, 25, has had a promising start to the season with OGC Nice, while Diaw, 33, brings valuable experience after several club seasons. Coach Patrick Vieira will have to decide between Diouf's youth and Diaw's experience ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
