Senegal’s national football team faces growing concerns over inconsistent player fitness levels ahead of their match against Norway. The technical staff is struggling to achieve a uniform intensity across the squad due to varying factors including recent injuries, unequal playing time at their clubs, and accumulated fatigue. This disparity in physical condition was reportedly evident during their recent 3-1 loss to France, where players appeared to struggle with the pace of the game, particularly in transitions and duels. Key defender Kalidou Koulibaly’s fitness following a recent injury is a particular point of focus, with questions surrounding his ability to maintain peak performance for a full 90 minutes. The coaching staff are prioritizing managing player workloads to address the issue. Maintaining a high level of intensity throughout matches is crucial, especially against opponents accustomed to a fast-paced game, and this remains a significant challenge for Senegal.
