Daily Mail  

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss Senegal's opening game of the Africa Cup of Nations against Zimbabwe on Monday. In addition, Saliou Ciss, Bamba Dieng, Mame Baba Thiam, Pape Matar Sarr, Alfred Gomis and Leicester's Nampalys Mendy had to remain in Senegal ahead of this game after testing positive. Chelsea's Edouard Mendy will miss Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations opener with Covid-19 Gomis is Senegal's second-choice goalkeeper, so it seems likely that they will have to call upon third-choice shot-stopper Seny Dieng of QPR. In addition to Edouard Mendy and Nampalys Mendy, there are two other Premier League players in Senegal's squad for the tournament in Crystal Palace's Cheikhou Kouyate and Watford's Ismaila Sarr.
