Team News：For Senegal, the absence of Al Nassr forward and all-time top scorer Sadio Mane is a notable loss, but the team remains well-equipped with attacking talent.

In Mane's absence, the spotlight will fall on players like Ismaila Sarr and Iliman Ndiaye to drive the attack.

With Nicolas Jackson's recent performances at club level, Senegal will be hoping his scoring and playmaking abilities will make a considerable impact in their match against Burkina Faso.

Jackson's impressive form for Chelsea is expected to translate into a significant boost for Senegal, as he seeks to shine on the international stage.

Edmund Tapsoba's defensive prowess will be vital in stifling Senegal's attacking threats, while Dango Ouattara's contributions up front will be pivotal in breaking down the hosts' defence and creating scoring opportunities.

The presence of Bertrand Traore adds another layer of potential threat for Burkina Faso. Known for his ability to both score and create goals from midfield, Traore's contribution will be crucial in providing the team with offensive dynamism and ingenuity.
