Senegal under FIFA investigation for breach of World Cup rules ahead of clash with England

Senegal's FA are under investigation from FIFA ahead of their clash with England after breaking press conference protocol on Monday.

Ahead of each match at the World Cup, national teams are expected to attend the media centre in Qatar to answer questions from the press. According to FIFA, these press conferences should feature the country's manager and a player - often the captain.

However, ahead of Senegal's clash with Ecuador, which they won 2-1 thanks to goals from Ismaila Sarr and Kalidou Koulibaly, the Lions of Teranga were only represented by their head coach Aliou Cisse. Although he spoke for 40 minutes, FIFA have not taken kindly to the break in tradition and have now opened proceedings against the African side.
