Pape Gueye will not play for Senegal under current management

Senegal midfielder Pape Gueye says he will be “taking a break” from playing for his country while the current management is in charge.

The 27-year-old’s decision follows Senegal, who are managed by Pape Thiaw, letting a 2-0 lead slip as they were dramatically beaten by Belgium in their last-32 tie at the World Cup.

Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr had deservedly put Senegal in front before late goals from Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans sent the tie into extra time.

Belgium were awarded a controversial penalty in the 125th minute and Tielemans scored from the spot to knock Senegal out.

Gueye, who plays for La Liga side Villarreal in Spain, started the game but was replaced by Lamine Camara after 66 minutes.

“I will come back to say a few words about the elimination… but I am announcing today that as long as this coaching staff is in place, I will be taking a break from the national team,” Gueye, who has won 45 caps for Senegal and scored twice in their group-stage win over Iraq, said on social media.
