Sakho and Kouyate in Senegal squad

Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate are in the Senegal squad for their AFCON 2017 qualifier against Namibia

Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate have been named in the Senegal squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Namibia next month.

The Lions of Teranga will aim to make it two wins from two in the qualification process when they head to Namibia on 4 September.

It marks a return to the international fold for the first time since last November for Sakho, who missed the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations with a back injury.

He has won three caps for his country, debuting in a May 2014 friendly against Burkina Faso. Kouyate, meanwhile, has played 17 times for Senegal.

Elsewhere, Hammers left back Stephen Hendrie is in the Scotland U21 squad for their UEFA U21 European Championship qualifier in Northern Ireland on 5 September.
