Pape Matar Sarr can hand Antonio Conte welcome Tottenham surprise with Senegal World Cup chance

With the World Cup now under way following Ecuador's 2-0 win over hosts Qatar, the games will now start to come thick and fast with three on Monday's schedule. Starting with England's opener against Iran ahead of Senegal vs Netherlands, USA and Wales bring the curtain down on the day's play later in the evening.

Tottenham fans watching on will hopefully be able to see five of their players in action, with Harry Kane captaining England and Ben Davies and Joe Rodon set to start in defence for Wales. Eric Dier will be hoping to come on from the bench for the Three Lions, while it is not clear yet if Pape Matar Sarr will get the nod in the heart of Senegal's midfield.

In the case of Spurs' young midfielder, it is a brilliant opportunity to show the club's supporters just what he can bring to the team over the coming years. Signed from Metz in August 2021 by managing director of football Fabio Paratici, the 20-year-old spent the 2021/22 campaign on loan at his former club to help aid his development.
