About Pape Matar Sarr
Pape Matar Sarr is named in Senegal's provisional 28-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, a central midfielder in Pape Thiaw's group. The list is due to be cut to a final 26 by 2 June 2026, so his place is at the projected stage for now. The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is 23 at kick-off and brings 38 senior Senegal caps and four international goals into the group, having been part of the 2022 World Cup squad earlier in his international career.
