Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire faced off in a tense match in the last 16 of the African Cup of Nations. The match, which took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning (30th), saw the two sides draw 1-1 in regulation time, with extra time remaining scoreless. Senegal's title defense came to an abrupt end when they were defeated 4-5 in a brutal penalty shootout. The players then departed for their homeward journeys, with Nicolas Jaeson heading back to Chelsea in the Premier League and expected to make his comeback against Wolves on Sunday.
According to football.longdon, Nicolas Jaeson has only made one start for Senegal at this year's Africa Cup of Nations, coming off the bench for the rest of the matches, including the Round of 16 clash with Cote d'Ivoire. However, with his team out of the tournament, he can finally return to England and continue his career.
