Senegal team doctor ‘trained as a gynaecologist’, federation president says
DAKAR: Senegal’s team doctor lacked the specialist background needed to support the squad during the World Cup in North America, the president of the country’s football federation said on Monday, as the governing body took stock of a disappointing campaign. The team doctor was “trained as a gynaecologist” and the issue was discovered late and had raised concern among players about the level of medical support available, federation chief Abdoulaye Fall told a press conference. “Based on the feedback I received, the players were not sufficiently reassured about being supported by him,” Fall said.
