Ba snubbed again for Elephants clash

Chelsea striker Demba Ba has again been snubbed by Alain Giresse for Senegal’s  away clash against Cote d’Ivoire on October 12.

Ba has been overlooked by Giresse for the last four games and his previous outing with Senegal was a 1-1 home draw against Angola on March 23.

Giresse however has renewed his confidence in the squad which defeated Uganda 1-0 in Marrakesh in early September to make the trip to Abidjan in the first leg of their 2014 World Cup play-off against Cote d'Ivoire.

The only change will see the return of Newcastle striker Papiss Demba Cisse who missed the Uganda clash due to suspension.
Cisse takes of the place of Hannover 96 striker Mame Birame Diouf who miss the trip to Abidjan due to injured.
