Senegal are confident coach Aliou Cisse will be in the dugout for Sunday night's clash with England - after he was sidelined by illness.
Cisse was unable to oversee Senegal training for the past couple of days, after complaining of feeling unwell and suffering from a fever. Assistant coach Regis Bogaert took over media duties before the England game, with Cisse confined to Senegal’s team hotel.
Despite the disruption to their preparations for the last 16 showdown, Senegal believe Cisse will recover in time to take charge. Bogaert said: “He’s been sick for a couple of days now and he let us take charge of training on Saturday with his instructions.
