Traveling with Senegal
Niakhate has been called up for AFCON by Senegal.
ANALYSIS
Niahkate is going to be away from the team for around a month, as the defender will depart on international duty for AFCON. Unfortunately for the club, he is a starting defender and will create a gap in the defense, causing a replacement. The good news is he is likely to only miss one game, with Ruben Kluivert or Teo Barisic as possible replacements.
