Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suggested that he left Sadio Mane out of his FA Cup starting XI so the Senegal striker could arrive in top condition for his nation's upcoming World Cup qualifying play-off with Egypt.
Senegal head coach Aliou Cisse has named his squad to face Egypt in the playoff round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Thousands of Senegalese gathered on Tuesday for the inauguration of a 50,000-seater stadium aimed at making the country Africa's go-to venue for international events.

Senegal's President Macky Sall awarded the national football team cash prizes and plots of land on Tuesday, AFP reporters said, following the squad's weekend victory in the African Cup of Nations.
Aliou Cisse pointedly looked around Bamako's Stade du 26 Mars, then began a long run-up and blasted his penalty kick onto the shins of Boukar Alioum to hand Cameroon the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations title.
Johannesburg - Led by star striker Sadio Mane, who also delivered the title-winning penalty, three Senegal representatives on Tuesday won the top individual player awards at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Twenty years ago, Alou Cisse played himself into the bad books of many Senegalese football fans, when he lost his penalty kick to hand the Indomitable Lions of Cameroun the Africa Cup of Nations title. The match ended 3-2 in favour of the Camerounians in the shootout after a goalless draw in 90 minutes and extra time. As customary with defeats, Aliou Cisse, who was the team captain at that time, wept openly at Stade du 26 Mars in Bamako, Mali. He ‘had murdered sleep,’ and was restless throughout the night, while the Camerounians celebrated. That tournament in Mali marked the best ever result in Senegalese football history until they finished as runners-up once again three years ago in Egypt, where the Teranga Lions lost 0-1 to Algeria. However, many Senegalese fans saw Cisse as the man who stopped them from sipping from the golden cup. From sadness to joy, Cisse was all smiles on Sunday night at the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, Cameroun, as he ran around the arena, waving to the crowd with his Senegalese flag flying high.
