    Defender – Bouna Sarr

    Sarr has contributed immensely to Senegal's attack with his runs and crosses on the flanks. The Bayern Munich right-back also supports the defence with his blocks.

    The Nancy left-back appears to have displaced Fode Ballo-Toure for a starting shirt. He was actively involved in the win over Cape Verde before his substitution in the final eight minutes.

    Defender – Kalidou Koulibaly
