SENEGAL have a huge opportunity to win their first ever AFCON title, but they must first overcome Burkina Faso in their semi-final.

The Lions of Teranga overcame Equatorial Guinea in the quarter-finals, beating them 3-1 after a less than confident start in the game.

Team news

The big missing player for Burkina Faso is their quarter-final game winner Dango Ouattara, who was sent off late in the clash with Tunisia.

His namesake Djibril Ouattara also won’t be able to play against Senegal after coming off in the quarter-finals with an injury.

Senegal are unlikely to name a different lineup to the one that started against Equatorial Guinea.

Sadio Mane will lead the line, Edouard Mendy will be in goal and Abdou Diallo will be anchoring the midfield alongside Idrissa Gueye.
