Comes off bench versus Saudi Arabia
Gueye (undisclosed) made a 13-minute appearance during Tuesday's international friendly against Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Gueye saw limited minutes in his first official outing since April 25, when he got hurt while playing for Everton. The veteran midfielder is now a strong option to increase the Senegalese national team's strength in terms of ground duels and ball recovery. However, his offensive upside may not be significant even if he gets plenty of time on the pitch. On the other hand, Lamine Camara is likely to see his involvement reduced with Gueye back in action.
Should face Saudi Arabia
Gueye (undisclosed) is expected to be an option for Tuesday's friendly against Saudi Arabia after fully recovering, according to Wiw Sport.
Analysis: Gueye is back in the mix for Senegal after returning to full training last week, as the midfielder has now been deemed fully recovered. This will lead to his return in the final preparation match heading into the World Cup, facing Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. He will hope to start but may be used cautiously, not forcing anything, just ahead of the tournament. He is set to start in the midfield as Senegal prepares for the closest thing this World Cup has to a group of death, a major addition for the team.
