Injury-hit Senegal call up Ba

Senegal will be missing two key strikers for Saturday's game

Senegal have called up Belgium-based striker Demba Ba to their injury-hit squad for their Nations Cup qualifier against Tanzania next Saturday.

Coach Henry Kasperczak invited the Excelsior Mouscron ace after injuries to two key strikers.

The 22-year-old has been brought in to shore up Senegal's attack in the absence of experienced strikers El Hadji Diouf of Bolton and Henri Camara of Wigan.

Senegal need a victory in Saturday's match in Dar es Salam to enhance their chances of reaching the Nations Cup to be held in Ghana next year.

The Teranga Lions lead Group 7 with six points and are closely followed by Tanzania, who are second with four points.
