Senegalese forward Bamba Dieng is expected to earn a recall to the national team for the upcoming international window, with head coach Pape Thiaw reportedly considering the striker for the next gathering of the Senegal national football team.
Dieng, who currently plays for FC Lorient, has been enjoying a remarkable run of form this season. The 24-year-old attacker has scored 12 goals in 13 matches, making him one of the most in-form Senegalese forwards in European football.
Sources close to the national team setup indicate that the former Olympique de Marseille striker is likely to be included in the squad for the March international window, marking a potential return to the Lions’ den after a period away from the team.
Dieng previously represented Senegal at senior level and was part of the generation that emerged during the country’s recent successful cycle in African football. His resurgence at Lorient has once again placed him firmly on the radar of the national team coaches.
Should the call-up be confirmed, Dieng’s current form could provide an additional attacking option for Thiaw as Senegal continues preparations for upcoming international fixtures and competitions.
