SENEGAL WILL BE without star striker Sadio Mané when they travel to the Aviva Stadium for next week’s end-of-season friendly against the Republic of Ireland.
The former Liverpool star, now plying his trade with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, is the most notable omission from Pape Thiaw’s 26-man squad.
