Senegal coach Bruno Metsu will have a nearly fully fit squad to choose from when his side play Uruguay in their bid to secure qualification from Group A on Tuesday.
Nearly a full complement of players were run through Metsu's drills at a training session at the Suwon Sports Complex.
It was the first time since the start of the World Cup Senegal that have had that luxury.
Backup goalkeeper Oumar Diallo was back in full training, meaning the uncapped
Jeanne D'Arc goalkeeper Kalidou Cissokho is no longer first reserve.
Sylvain Ndiaye also trained for the first time at the World Cup, increasing
Metsu's midfield options prior to the decisive game.
But Ndiaye will probably not be ready to start the game.
He spent most
of the session working on his sharpness and agility with assistant coach
Abdoulaye Sarr.
Pape Sarr, who started the game against Denmark but asked to be substituted
at half time, took a full part in the 90 minute session.
Only captain Aliou Cisse is still on the injured list, but Cisse did put his
football boots on for the first time since injuring himself last Monday in
training.
All in all it was a good day for the Dakar Lions and for Metsu.
A draw with the competitive Uruguayans will be enough to see Senegal
through to the last 16.
