Senegal midfielder Pape Gueye has announced an indefinite hiatus from the national team following their agonizing World Cup elimination against Belgium.
The Villarreal player issued a bold social media statement declaring he will not accept future call-ups while the current technical staff remains in power. His decision directly follows a devastating 3-2 Round of 32 defeat in Seattle.
Internal friction has rapidly surfaced within the Teranga Lions’ squad regarding the tactical setup utilized during their tournament exit.
