Senegal coach Patrick Vieira faces Comoros in Marseille friendly

lequipe.fr (French) —

Patrick Vieira will lead Senegal in a friendly against the Comoros in Marseille on Sunday, marking his third match as head coach following a draw and a win in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Vieira acknowledged the challenges of his new role, emphasizing the need for clear priorities to build a competitive team. Senegal earned four points from difficult away matches in Mozambique and Ethiopia, though not everything was perfect. Several key players, including Ismaïla Sarr and Moussa Niakhaté, are dealing with physical issues, so a reshuffled squad is expected to play at the Vélodrome for the 3 p.m. kickoff.
