Senegal will fear none of the England players they face in the last 16 of the World Cup, according to former Leeds United, Liverpool and Bolton striker El Hadji Diouf. The 41 year-old has an advisory and ambassadorial role with Senegal, having been a member of the squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup.
They famously beat holders France in the opening game before going on to lose to Turkey in the last eight, with current manager Aliou Cisse also part of the team. Now, having progressed as runners-up behind the Netherlands in Group A - seeing off Ecuador and hosts Qatar to do so - Senegal come up against Gareth Southgate's England on Sunday.
While England will be the favourites, Diouf - who spent 12 years playing in the United Kingdom, also taking in spells at Sunderland, Blackburn, Rangers and Doncaster - insists Senegal will fancy their chances.
