Senegal has confirmed goalkeeper Edouard Mendy’s comeback prior of thier 3rd Africa Cup of Nations match against Malawi on Tuesday in Bafoussam.

Mendy tested positive before the Lions of Teranga’s first match, which they won 1-0, but then forgot the second match, which finished in a 0-0 tie against Guinea.

Despite promoting Mendy’s recovery on their social media platforms, Senegal has yet to say if he will play against the Flames.
