00:07According to Senegalese outlet Taget, the 34-year-old goalkeeper has told incoming head coach Patrick Vieira that he intends
00:16to retire from international duty.

00:27was part of Senegal's historic Africa Cup of Nations Triumph in 2021 and represented the team at this summer's World
00:34Cup.

00:42injury during the match, with Mare Diouard taking his place.
00:47Diouard went on to play the remaining matches of the tournament, including Senegal's last 16 defeat to Belgium, also ending
00:543-2.
00:55With Mendy potentially stepping away, Diouard could now be in line to take over as Senegal's first choice as goalkeeper.
