Administrative procedures for the defender were reportedly not finalized in time. This issue is not limited to El Ouahdi, as another Moroccan international player and a technical staff member are also awaiting administrative regularization.

In response, coach Walid Regragui has called up young Anderlecht defender Ali Maamar, who has joined the squad and is participating in preparations.

Must ReadJournalist and political analyst Cheikh Yérim Seck, a guest on the TFM program Faram Facce, offered his interpretation of the new political landscape shaped by recent changes at the highest levels of the state and within the executive.

The journalist also highlighted potential political and judicial risks Sonko might encounter, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong connection with his political base to preserve his influence. Seck concluded that Sonko's media outing was primarily intended to re-mobilize party activists and officials after recent institutional upheavals. He also suggested that the upcoming Pastef congress could be a pivotal moment for the movement's internal cohesion. Finally, Seck noted that the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, appears to be pursuing an autonomous political dynamic, further solidifying the reconfiguration of the Senegalese political scene.
Senegalese international Krépin Diatta, whose contract with AS Monaco is ending, is attracting interest from several European clubs, including Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen. The 27-year-old winger is reportedly prioritizing a move to the Premier League to revitalize his career at the highest level.

Must ReadThe Supreme Court has rejected a request by former Justice Minister Ismaïla Madior Fall to challenge the conditions of his judicial supervision, specifically the wearing of an electronic bracelet. The administrative chamber's judge dismissed the request, stating that no urgent situation justified an intervention in a liberty summary proceeding, and also rejected an exception of unconstitutionality raised by the defense. Fall's lawyers, including Ciré Clédor Ly and Cheikh Ahmadou Ndiaye, argued that the restrictions had become arbitrary due to exceeding legal deadlines, as the electronic bracelet should not be worn for more than one year. They also contended that certain provisions of the organic law governing the High Court of Justice were unconstitutional. Despite this setback, the defense plans to pursue other legal avenues, including an appeal to the ECOWAS Court of Justice, to contest the procedure against their client. Ismaïla Madior Fall is currently facing charges in an alleged corruption case involving 50 million CFA francs related to the construction of an electronic surveillance center in Guédiawaye. He was indicted on May 9 and referred to the High Court of Justice for trial, remaining under house arrest with an electronic bracelet.
