Fadiga Out Of Senegal Reckoning

Khalilou Fadiga will be available for Bolton Wanderers next month after Senegal decided not to include the experienced winger in their squad for the African Nations Cup. Fadiga was overlooked as joint coaches Abdoulaye Sarr and Amara Traore selected the final 23-man squad which includes Wanderers duo El-Hadji Diouf and Abdoulaye Diagne-Faye.

The 30-year old also missed out in the tournament two years ago as a well publicised heart defect condition hampered his chances with both his club and his country.

Bolton had feared they would lose all five of their African contingent but the omission of Fadiga will give Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce an extra body to call upon.
