Papy Mendy and his Senegal colleagues land at Hamad International Airport in Doha ahead of the Qatar finals.

Daniel Amartey has also been selected for Ghana who, in Group H, are scheduled to tackle Portugal, Uruguay and Korea Republic. AFCON champions Senegal, with Papy Mendy among their ranks, have been potted in Group A alongside hosts Qatar, Ecuador and Netherlands.
