Defence of the Lions: The Player Who Will Accompany Moussa Niakhaté in the Central Axis

After doubts about the fragility of Senegal's defense during the last World Cup, the Lions' staff is preparing a new defensive lineup for the match against Mozambique. Moussa Niakhaté, a central defender from Olympique Lyonnais, has become the undisputed leader of the defense, with several contenders vying for the central pairing, including Mamadou Sarr, Kalidou Koulibaly, Malang Sarr, and Sadibou Sané. Mamadou Sarr, recently transferred to Real Sociedad, is seen as the logical choice for his compatibility with Niakhaté, while Koulibaly's position is threatened due to recent performances and physical condition.
