Senegal’s preparations for the 2026 World Cup have been disrupted by concerns over the fitness of key midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye. The vice-captain reportedly left Friday’s training session early in New Brunswick and has not fully participated in team exercises. This raises doubts about his availability for Senegal’s highly anticipated match against France on June 26th. While the exact nature of Gueye’s injury remains undisclosed, reports from BeIN Sports suggest he is not at 100% fitness. Coach Pape Thiaw may be forced to adjust his lineup for this crucial game without one of his most important players. No official announcement regarding Gueye’s status has been made, but his condition is a significant worry for the Senegalese team. The lack of information surrounding the injury is further fueling uncertainty.
