In a tense Afcon Round of 16 clash, Senegal battled Cote d'Ivoire to a 1-1 draw in the early hours of Tuesday morning (30th) and continued to maintain parity in extra time. However, Senegal failed to defend their title as they lost 4-5 in a brutal penalty shootout, and the players then set off for home. One of them, Nicholas Jackson, will return to England and is expected to make his comeback against Wolves on Sunday.
According to football.longdon, Nicolas Jackson has only played one regular game for Senegal during the current Afcon campaign, and the rest of the time he has been on the bench. Although he was again on the bench for the Round of 16 match against Ivory Coast, this time out he will finally be able to return to England for further training and games.
