However, the 25-year-old’s recent performances have reportedly prompted head coach Pape Thiaw to reassess his attacking options ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
Senegal are set to play two friendly matches during the March international break as part of their preparations for the FIFA World Cup.
The Lions of Teranga will first face Peru team on March 28 before meeting Gambia three days later.
