Cissoko in the end picked up the third goalkeeping spot ahead of rival for the gloves Samuel Monin.
Monin, who has still struggled to make a name for himself after conceding four goals in a friendly against Burkina Faso, has been left on the sidelines.
And the same could be said for Cissoko who is not expected to play a part in anything other than training in the Far East.
A sometimes rash keeper, such a plan might be the best remedy for Senegal.
But it is worth mentioning that he captained the national side to victory in the 2001 Amilcar Cabral tournament.
