Senegal make late changes (08.11.2001)
Senegal`s squad for Thursday`s friendly against South Korea has been finalised less than 24 hours before kick-off.
Captain Aliou Cisse, defender Omar Daf and midfield stars Khalilou Fadiga and Salif Diao are all missing, despite being on earlier team lists.
Lens-based trio El Hadji Diouf, Ferdinand Coly and Pape Sarr are all in having arrived only the day before kick off.
Of the three, coach Bruno Metsu will be most pleased to see defensive midfielder Sarr.
The absence of Fadiga and Diao leaves Senegal`s middle section with a distinctly threadbare look.
Sarr could be paired with Bouba Diop, Makhtar Ndiaye and even AC Milan`s Adama Sarr.
The teenage sensation is nominally a central defender, but can play anywhere.
Stadium debut

as a right winger.
And the defence has an interesting look, with France-based Cheikh Sadibou Fall and former Bournmouth man El Hadji Kader Seydi in the line-up.
Senegal have had a light training session at the magnificent Jeonju stadium, which will be officially opened before the game.
The Koreans are without their Japan-based players, but can still rely on the experience of their stars in Europe, Jae Won Sim (Frankfurt), Jung Hwan Ahn (Perugia) and Ki Hyeon Seol (Anderlect).
Senegal:
Goalkeepers: Tony Sylva, Oumar Diallo
Defenders: Ferdinand Coly, Malick Diop, Lamine Diatta, Alassanne Ndour, Adama Sarr, El Hadji Seydi, Alcaly Camara, Cheikh Sadibou Fall
Midfielders: Moussa Ndiaye, Pape Sarr, Pape Bouba Diop, Makhtar Ndiaye, Serigne Cheikh Gadiaga, Baye Ali Ibra Kebe
Forwards: El Hadji Diouf, Henry Camara, Pape Thiaw.
