Thiaw to undergo surgery
Thiaw may not make Senegal's Nations Cup squad.
Senegalese international forward Pape Thiaw will undergo surgery on his right knee this week which will keep him out of action until the New Year.

His French club Metz said on Tuesday the operation will be carried out by top French surgeon professor Jean-Henri Jaeger in Strasbourg.

Metz officials said Thiaw could have continued playing without surgery but would not have been at 100 percent of his capacity.

Thiaw, who has scored four goals in eleven games this season, will have to rest for up to ten days and will undergo physiotherapy until the end the year.
