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.
