Burkina Faso v Senegal live: Time, team news and how to watch - Mane in action

talksport.com, 1 February 2022, 16:01
Liverpool star Sadio Mane will be desperate to secure successive spots in the AFCON final when Senegal take on Burkina Faso this week.

The 29-year-old made it to within one game of glory at the tournament's last edition in 2019 but the Teranga Lions fell to a 1-0 loss to Algeria.

Mane has been on a mission to help Senegal claim their first ever Nations Cup trophy this time around though.

Aliou Cisse's side beat Equatorial Guinea 3-1 on Sunday to set up a last four clash with 2013 runners-up Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso vs Senegal: Date and time

This Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash will take place on Wednesday, February 2.

Burkina Faso have failed to defeat Senegal in each of the last four meetings between the sides since 2006.

Burkina Faso vs Senegal: Team news

The hosts will be without Lorient youngster Dango Ouattara, following the red card he received after he scored the winner against Tunisia last time out.

Djibril Ouattara is also a doubt after he picked up an injury in that quarter-final clash which was his first appearance of the tournament.

Senegal meanwhile have a clean bill of health to contend with as Mane is set to feature once again alongside Chelsea's Edouard Mendy.

Crystal Palace star Cheikou Kouyate could be among the Premier League continent to start the game after his impressive cameo against Equatorial Guinea.

Burkina Faso vs Senegal: What has been said?

Mane has insisted he is willing to make sacrifices to help Senegal at the AFCON.

"It's my job (to be ready to play everywhere). I have to do it because I think it's really important for me," said Mane.

"It's important for the boys to make sure we win the game, so to win you have to do everything and make all the sacrifices necessary.

"I think all the games, for me, are the best. Of course I know people always look for nice football, try to create chances and score and that's normal.

"But as a football player you can't expect this all the time. Doing this without winning makes no sense."
