Senegalese midfielder Pape Sarr has stirred concerns in his homeland after sustaining an injury during Tottenham Hotspur’s home clash against Bournemouth.

Despite impressively opening the scoring in the 9th minute, the 21-year-old was substituted just after the hour mark due to an unspecified injury. Sarr, a dynamic box-to-box midfielder in excellent form under Ange Postecoglou, was poised for a standout performance in his debut AFCON competition.

His emotional departure, marked by tears, raises significant worry for Senegal coach Aliou Cisse. Senegal awaits anxiously as Sarr undergoes scans in the upcoming hours and days to assess the extent of the injury.
