Sakho: “I could have played in Nations Cup”
But the Irons top scorer has declared that it was Senegal’s fault he didn’t.
The striker – like every other player – has the final say in whether he will go on international duty and Sakho’s back injury finally saw him rule himself out on club advice.
He is currently carrying a thigh problem and back home in Senegal has revealed that he received no support from the Senegal directors.
He is reported as saying: “I didn’t put any pressure on after the decision made by the club. But I could have if I had been supported the (Senegal) directors. I cannot start a row with my club in these conditions.”
