Senegal’s national coach Amara Traore will be leaving for Paris today to prepare for the regrouping of his team’s European professionals.

According to Walfadjri, a Senegalese newspaper, training sessions will kick off on Sunday in the French capital.

Meanwhile, the west African nation’s FA, the FSF, have sent a high-profile delegation on to Lubumbashi, DR Congo - where the encounter will take place on September 5 - to finalise arrangements ahead of the Lions’ arrival.

Amara says he will be able to follow next weekend’s league matches of his European-based players while in Paris. But one of his major worries at the moment is news of midfielder Issiar Dia, whose club Fenerbahce earlier sent a fax to the national coaching staff to report an injury to his right thigh.

The Turkish club consequently asked Senegal to ignore the player for the DR Congo encounter – a situation Traore is yet to digest.

Senegal are housed in Group E alongside DR Congo, Cameroon and Mauritius.
