Senegal were rocked before the tournament as it was announced Sadio Mane would not play a part in the World Cup.

But matters were made worse in their last group stage match as Idrissa Gueye picked up a suspension for the last 16 tie because he picked up two yellow cards.

England, meanwhile, will be without Ben White after he left the squad because of personal reasons.

The Three Lions have no other fitness or suspension problems to worry about heading into this match and will be out to build on their unbeaten start to the competition.
