Wolves Star Henri Camara and forgotten Defender Isaac Okoronkwo are both in action over this coming month for Senegal and Nigeria respectively and we will be taking a look at how they get on.

 Wolves Striker Henri Camara was in action for Senegal tonight as his side took on African Minnows Burkina Faso.

 The clash against Burkina Faso was the opening game for Senegal, and it pulled off the shock result of the competition so far. The game finished 0-0, but Senegal were tipped as huge favorites to win the game and to finish leaders of the group, which also includes Kenya and Mali.

 In the main, Camara played a similar role to the one we are used to seeing at Molineux. Most of the evening was spent on the right wing, but again he had several golden chances to hit the back of the net.

 The first came in the first half. Camara found time and space on the edge of the area, but with just the Keeper to beat, he struck his shot wide of the far post.

 The Striker, who was wearing his famous Orange Boots then missed another good chance in the second half, before hitting the post with a piece of skill which dazzled the Faso back line.

 Despite Senegal not winning the game, Camara looked the likeliest to score, however should they continue to play in the same way throughout this competition, then Camara may be back at Molineux sooner rather than later.

BURKINA FASO 0-0 SENEGAL
