El Hadj Diouf was able to discuss the incident with the father of Leroy Sane. And the former Senegalese glory told the daily Source A, the content of his exchange with Souleymane Sane.


“I had Souleymane Sane on the phone in person and his words really touched me a lot. Souleymane is a worthy son of Senegal like Sadio Mané like El Hadji Diouf. And Souleymane’s words are ‘Sadio, he’s my son, Leroy, he’s my son’ Things have happened, but I know they’re two people who don’t have problems’”, reported the double African Ballon d’Or, who hopes the two players will manage to wipe the slate clean. “Leroy Sané is our child, Sadio, too […]. It is a problem between two children of the country, we must cover them, both”.
