Everton star Iliman Ndiaye featured for Senegal on Sunday evening.
Iliman Ndiaye is preparing to jet off to the World Cup and has featured in a warm-up game for his nation just a week after the season ended.
The Everton winger started Senegal’s 3-2 defeat against the United States in North Carolina, operating off the right flank.
Are there any players from the relegated clubs you want to see Everton go after this summer? 🤔
Wolves, Burnley and West Ham have all lost their Premier League status…
With that said, here is how the 26-year-old performed during his 70 minutes on the pitch.
Senegal’s media react to Iliman Ndiaye’s display vs USA
Ndiaye showed clear signs of fatigue towards the end of last season, as his form completely dropped off.
In fact, he seemed to decline post the African Cup of Nations in January, so to still be playing at the end of May is pretty remarkable.
Anyhow, Ndiaye had a decent game for his nation on Sunday, as he was given a 6.4 match rating on Sofascore.
- 70 minutes
- 37 touches
- 10 carries
- 2 successful dribbles
- 1 shot on target
- 1 key pass
- 6/10 duels won
As evinced by his statistics above, the Everton attacker was busy both going forward and defensively.
Perhaps on another day, Ndiaye would come away with an assist after making one key pass for the visitors.
What on earth has happened to Iliman Ndiaye?! 😫
No goal or assist since the win over Chelsea in March… 📉
Impressively, he won six ground duels, so evidently, David Moyes has instilled a hard-working nature into the playmaker.
Senegal are next in action on the 10th of June against Saudi Arabia before their first World Cup group stage game against France on the 16th.
