“Everything is great, thank you all for the messages.”

Senegal coach Cisse informed press reporters at his post-match press conference: “Sadio had a big shock with the goalkeeper and I have not heard from him yet, he was woozy and he is presently in the healthcare facility.

“We will have news later on. I hope he is doing very well.”
