Senegal 3-1 Cameroon: Onana concedes three as defending champions rout Indomitable Lions
AFCON defending champions Senegal breached Andre Onana to become the latest team to reach the AFCON 2023 knockout stage.
Despite the health scare, reports indicate that the 47-year-old coach is recovering well. However, he will miss the team's training session the following day.
El Hadji Diouf provided updates on Cisse's health
El Hadji Diouf, a former international teammate of Cisse, provided some reassurance about his condition.
Diouf mentioned that Cisse is doing well, highlighting that football can bring a lot of stress, which can sometimes manifest in physical symptoms like stomach aches. Diouf had spoken to Cisse over the phone and confirmed his positive recovery.
Cisse's Illness at Major Tournaments
This incident has raised concerns within the Senegalese camp, as Cisse is a key figure for the team. He has been the coach of Senegal since 2015 and led the Teranga Lions to success in the delayed 2021 AFCON tournament in Cameroon. Under his leadership, Senegal also reached the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Senegal, having already qualified for the knockout stage of the AFCON 2023 with victories in their opening matches, hopes to have Cisse back for their final Group C game against Guinea. A draw in this match would be sufficient for them to finish top of their group. The situation is reminiscent of the 2022 World Cup, where Cisse was also ill but managed to recover in time for an important game.
